As Shridhar says, YMMV. However, you could try booting off your distro's installation disk [rescue mode in Redhat / Fedora] and see if linux and fdisk are able to recognise the actual size of your disk. If they are not, the chance of it being detected post-install is not very likely. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFBvaOKfQe5A1YbfuURAgGZAJ90OlQY4/ZU0erJ655upHGiwgXrsgCfRpsU 1m74k6aTNdZEF/yU7ldKkHo= =s9BW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
