I am a new BSD user and I entered the scene with a a major screwup. My HD is 12.5GIG but after messing with freeBSD only 7.5GIG can be used = now. Fdisk does not see more than 7.5 GIG aswell as "disk druid" which is a = redhat partition tool. I have even installed windows back and then run = Partition Magic. Sad to say with no success. Because no one knew a cure, I deided to re-install FreeBSD and then have = a closeer look at the partition process. Now even BSD can only see 7.5 gig. I have read and asked, but no one seems to have ever seen this problem. Is there anyone who can help me to get my 12.5GIG back? I am happy to try anything at this point plus, there is no valuable = information on the drive.=20 Any ideas would be of great help. Thank you, V M ------=_NextPart_000_0005_01BF1E91.E6277520 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2314.1000" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT size=3D2>Hello!</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2>I am a new BSD user and I entered the scene with a a = major=20 screwup.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2>My HD is 12.5GIG but after messing with freeBSD only = 7.5GIG=20 can be used now.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2>Fdisk does not see more than 7.5 GIG aswell as "disk = druid"=20 which is a redhat partition tool.
