Hi,
Thanks for the information.I think I typed "mkfs /dev/hdd" instead of "mkfs
/dev/hdd1" initially when I was making a partition of 100 gb.
Anyway I deleted all the partitions on /dev/hdd and still my disk shows only
33 gb space(originally it was 120 gb).Do you think the command "mkfs
/dev/hdd" messed up the ard drive. Any help on this?
Thanks,
Laxman
