You might be able to upgrade your bios in order to see all 20G's. Have you tried installing lilo yet? You need to set up /etc/lilo.conf and then run - # /sbin/lilo Take a look in - /usr/share/doc/lilo especially - $ zless /usr/share/doc/lilo/Manual.txt.gz You could also try - /usr/sbin/liloconfig There is a manpage. If you don't get it done then post back, let us know what you have tried and what your setup is. kent -- From seeing and seeing the seeing has become so exhausted First line of "The Panther" - R. M.
