Tell drive to report as 33G instead of 80G and restart Why do you want the drive to report as 33Gb instead of 80Gb ? I installed FBSD on a IBM 60 Gb HD on an old PC (so BIOS not detecting 60Gb but 8Gb if I remember correctly) and FreeBSD simply reconized the whole HD. Have you tried to upgrade your BIOS btw ?
