Filesystems, Disks and Memory

I'm installing SCO Unix Open Server 5.05 on an IBM 300PL Desktop with a 60Gig HDD (IDE) and 32 MB physical RAM.

When the install goes to the phase where the hard disk needs to be partitioned, I can only see 8 Gig out of the 60Gig that I have on the mahine.

I have tried the option of display other types of partitions to find the rest of the missing 52 Gigs but nothing is shown in the partiton table.

I'm using the interactive method in the SCO install for partitoning which uses fdisk/Divvy.

Has anybody got any thoughts on how I can claim back the missing 53Gig (I understand I can't use the entire 60Gig).

Thanks

i think you are using different Host Bus Adapter, Try getting the correct HBA diver from Net. Hope this solves ur problem

Hi there,

I hv gone thro' ur Problem. Since ur using 60GB HDD of IDE Make, the type of mother in which the Disk has been placed may not support that capacity, may be u have to change the mother board that supports.

If the HDD is a SCSI make then the system will give u the full capacity.
