Maximize IDE Hard Disk

limpinmd · #1 (**permalink**) 04-14-2009

Hi there! I am installing Unixware 7.1 to a new server. We usually use SCSI hard for this but since this will be used only for testing, I decided to use an 80GB IDE hard disk. I was able to successfully load the unix but found out that the 80GB hard disk was not maximized. The total hard disk used was about 10GB only. Is there a way to maximize the entire 80GB hard disk? By the way, during installation, i selected the option to "use the whole disk for UNIx". Thanks and regards, zap

Just to clarify. Is anything else on the HDD? or was on the HDD? Did you format the HDD?

Also have you tried manually creating the partitions to use the full HDD?
