Does this problem happen with 6.2? 6.2 recognizes the disk ok with disk druid too. It's possible that the case with 6.1 had to do with the disk being partitioned+formatted under NT first, but can't really check because the user doesn't want to trash his disk again now that he got it properly working :) Anyway this is really low priority for me since we could work around it easily. User reports problem is corrected in 6.2. |
Disk druid sees only 8gigs of 24gig disk, but plain fdisk sees all of it (so working around is easy) Copy-paste from user: -------- During installation I chose the workstation (KDE) option and then I came to the partition screen which at first could not access /dev/hdb at all (it complained about a missing partition table); after I formatted the disk under NT and tried to repartition it during the Linux installation, it only recognized it as a 7.8GB disk. --------- Disk details: /dev/hdb: Model=IBM-DJNA-352500, FwRev=J51OA30K, SerialNo=GW0GWFJ7886 Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec Fixed DTR>10Mbs } RawCHS=16383/15/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=34 BuffType=3(DualPortCache), BuffSize=1966kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=off DblWordIO=no, OldPIO=2, DMA=yes, OldDMA=2 CurCHS=16383/15/63, CurSects=1011810540, LBA=yes, LBAsects=49981680 tDMA={min:120,rec:120}, DMA modes: mword0 mword1 mword2 IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:240,w/IORDY:120}, PIO modes: mode3 mode4 UDMA modes: mode0 mode1 *mode2 mode3 mode4
