fdisk -- maximum disk capacity

[Vijaykumar Krishnaswamy]

hi ,
        i was trying to install linux ( not on  i7k) on a machine with
12G of harddisk space.I was thinking of partioning it into two so as to
install linux and win98.But unfortunately the fdisk program on linux does
not seem to recognize the full disk ( it recognizes only about 8 G, about
1024 cylinders).why is this and is there a way to correct this.

thanks,
vijay
