Fdisk & Large HD's

[Richard Armsgtrong]

        I have a 8+Gb hard drive and using Partition Magic have created 
an ~1.4Gb partition for Linux.  Fdisk doesn't see it.  I sort of remember
that there are problems using fdisk with large Hard Drives and another utility
was recommended.  Any help?
        Advance thanks,          R.H.Armstrong  South Colby, WA
