So i simply ran fdisk /dev/sdb and deleted the 2 Linux partitions ( one 83 and one swap). I then created a new partition as primary partition #1. fdisk appears to see the entire disk....I'm able to start at cylinder 1 and end at 30401 which is 250GB, however when i mount the partition it's shows as only 50G.....What the hell is going on here??? Dumb question - did you format the new partition? Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!

Two days ago you posted the exact same question. You just did a copy and paste. Why did you repost? Did you even try the suggestion or two you were given? Why not just follow up on your original post. You offered no feedback on whether you had any progress. Ignoring the advice you were given makes me think it's worthless replying to your posts. ~af Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines [1] Hey genius, do you see the timestamp on the left of the post that tells literate people the date and time a post is created...Anyhow, thanks to the others that responded, this is a duplicate post that was created right after the original by accident. My apologies and this issue has been resolved.
