RH9 install - incorrect harddisk size detected
 
I recently bought a PC with a default Lindows OS. It has a Hitachi 80G drive.Prior to scratch installing this with Redhat 9, I was able to save some file regarding the hardware configuration. I also saved the /var/log/* files in case it'll be useful.

Lindows:/etc/devices/devices.inf

:
:
[disk.1]
partition1 = 1, 128519, 83
hdparms =
partition4 = 0, 0, 0
model = HDS722580VLAT20
partition2 = 128520, 2088450, 82
device = /dev/hda
partition3 = 2216970, 117884970, 83
driver = ide-disk
:
:

When installing Redhat 9, the Disk Druid or install software detects that it's only a 55G drive.

[root@localhost sysconfig]# hdparm -g /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
geometry = 7476/255/63, sectors = 120103200, start = 0


Any clues on how I could fully utilize this hard disk?


Thanks.
