well this last time i reformatted, i decided i was going to add an extra partition so i could fianally install redhat 7.2...but when i was trying to add the partition it was telling me i only had a 4 gig hd when i have a 12....i dont know why it wouldnt find the whole thing i have never had a problem in the 4 other times i have reformatted on this harddrive..but that is a strange coincidence..
