Hello,
Just wonderin' if something is wrong here. I was in windows and saw D: was missing so I went into linux to look - well I got a plesant suprise =)
Copied out of fdisk --------------------------------------
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1216.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

-----------------------------------------------------
Yup 1.8TB with a begining cylander higer than the ending and an invalid type =)
Alright Alright - This isn't a good thing I know - But I can not figure out which part is to blame. The Hard Drive - Western Digital Protege 10gig. Or the controller: HighPoint 366.
/me hopes it the HD - its an excuse to get a 75GXP =))) + I need the HPT366 for CD-RW =(
Any help appreciated,
