Question

On my Intel PC I have 4GB HDD on which I installed Solaris. I also installed 30GB HDD but the bios does not recognize anything beyond 8GB and that is what Solaris picks up. Under WinNT is an utility that allows me to access and format the full capacity of this 30GB HDD no matter what the bios says, is there a way to do it on Solaris as well? What I need the help with is:
** How do I mount a HDD disk, do I have to rerun installation like the first time to mount it?
** How do I format it to the full capacity, 30GB and not only upto 8GB?
Thanks very much.
