120GB HDD posing as 2.5GB


I just got a 120 GB HDD for my machine, running Mandrake 9.0 and partitioned and formatted it, etc. DiskDrake is telling me that it is a 120GB partition, but when I mount the drive, i only have 2.5 GB on it.

How can i fix this?

repartition it correctly i'd guess.... what does "fdisk -l" and "df -h" say?
