[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello! 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. Any ideas would be of great help.
