I suspect that the BIOS does not present the full drive to the system at boot time. Once the install disk had booted you should be able to partion the disk and use it all. Automatic partioning should work but I made mine by hand the way I did because I was lazy. Since your BIOS apparently does not see all the disk make your FIRST partion "/boot" and things should be fine. Something like this: $ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda3 111250496 54009080 51590152 52% / /dev/hda1 101089 28767 67103 31% /boot $ grep swap /etc/fstab /dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 I made my /boot filesystem partion with a size of 1GB on this 120GB disk. I now have five kernel versions in it so I suspect it was a little bigger than it needed to be. -- T o m M i t c h e l l mitch48-at-sbcglobal-dot-net
