If the drive is detected as 1888MB then the chances are its setup
incorrectly in the bios.
I good idea here is to send up the output of "dmesg" just the relavant
parts, as per the example;
hda: ST32531A, 2439MB w/0kB Cache, CHS=4956/16/63
Partition check:
hda: hda1 hda2 hda3
The output of fdisk /dev/hda
Use the "p" for print table.
Once again an example;
Disk /dev/hda: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 4956 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 1 66 33232+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda2 67 67 1000 470736 83 Linux native
/dev/hda3 1001 1001 4956 1993824 83 Linux native
And of course the actual disk data, the cyls heads which is normaly printed
on the device itself, or in the documentation which came with the device.
All the above information would enable one of us here to give you an answer
to your question without misleading you or anyone else.
