My BIOS supports large disks, and it reports geometry c = 4092, H = 16, S= 63 with 16406208 total sectors. FDISK reports the same geometry, but only one quarter of the total sectors. Prior to this, I installed Windows 2000, and QNX, and neither one of those OS's had this problem. I need to resolve this problem soon. Please advice.
