Re: [newbie] large hard disk

[Mwinold]

well for one dos fdisk is limited your bios settings will tell it something 
it cant comprehend, remember how we mention lilo only able to detect so many 
cylanders well in this case dos has the same limitations, my mom had the same 
problem she bought a 20 gig hard drive and for some reason  her computer only 
registered it as a 2 gig hard drive, this had allot to do with the bios 
settings, your ez bios is merely a program that has to continuley lie to dos 
however it apears not compatible with linux
