I have a 20 GB HD that in Windows (because of my old BIOS) is recognized as a
8 GB one, but Linux recognizes it as the 20 GB it is and works without
problems. Maybe I don't have any problems because it is my 2nd. HD, and my
boot partition is on the first disk (my root and other stuff is on the 2nd.
one). It seems that the Linux boot loader uses the BIOS in the booting
process, but after that Linux just ignores the BIOS and uses its own FS
routines.
