Hi!
I just installed potato to Dell Inspiron 7500 with a 18 GB disk with no
problems. What kernel are you using? I think the older kernels won't
support large drives. Also, take a look to Large-Disk-HOWTO.
Hope this helps...

Try using the 'potato' boot disks. These recognise a greater than 8MB disk. I
am using a Dell Latitude with a 12MB hard drive and cfdisk on the potato boot
disks recognises the drive correctly, even the existing ntfs partition was
detected correctly.
Hope this helps..
