Thanks to those who have replied. Let me recapitulate:
I have a 10.2Gb disk. I am using an updated BIOS, which recognises 10Gb of space and does not attempt to show a geometry. `sfdisk -s' shows the correct size: 10022040 However, cfdisk actually assigns 8Gb and then considers the disk to be fully used. I believe I can get round this by specifying a higher cylinder count than 1024; however, I also need a Windows 95 partition and I don't know how to get Windows to recognise any changes I may make in Linux. Windows also recognises only 8Gb, though the Large disk mini-HOWTO appears to suggest that it knows about >8Gb disks. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP key from public servers; key ID 32B8FAA1 ======================================== "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.
