Sorry for all the comments (squeaky wheel, hehe).  Also you might want
to notice that the drive sizes are listed differently between
cfdisk/fdisk and gparted.  I think therein lies a clue.  The ONLY
software that refuses to correctly report the drive capacity and the
partition table so far is gparted and the ubuntu installer.  This is
with the 32-bit installer.  Haven't tried the 64-bit, nor would I really
care to be honest.  Athlon64-3000,sis raid180 serial ata, with the not
so hot, not so bad sis (740?) AMD64 chipset.  Any input would be
appreciated as I really don't know where to begin to look when the core
utilities and the kernel are giving me the results I would
expet................


Ok, so I just open parted from the command line, and here is what I get:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo parted /dev/sdb
GNU Parted 1.8.9
Using /dev/sdb
Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.
(parted) print                                                            
Error: Can't have overlapping partitions.                   


well.... I created the table with the 8.04 installer...why the hell would I 
have overlapping partitions now?  Any way I could fix this?  I could grow the 
NTFS partition the encompass the whole disk and then just shrink it......IF 
gparted worked.... Don't tell me I'm going to have whip out the trusty 
partition magic.  what is this the year 2000 again?
