Fdisk reports 203.9 GB, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 24792 cylinders and properly shows the 7 partitions on one drive and shows a yet to be nuked 199 GB HPFS/NTFS on the other. Bios reports 203 GB, 65535 cylinders, 16 heads and 255 sectors. These are hdb and hdc on this system...Grub is installed on the MBR of hda. On another system, my 3200+ is running at 37C idling, about 6C above ambient inside the case. It does have a Zalman CNPS7000 HSF on it though. Under heavy load I have seen it up to 44C using gkrellm/lm_sensors. KAS
