: I was recently given a CHAMP HDD with LINUX! on it. I have since ran fdisk and delpart and re partitioned it. The bios tells me it is 1.7 GIG but it only formats with 1 primary dos partition (100%) at 503MB. Has anyone got any suggestions as this system is being built for a sick friend of mine. Please E-Mail me a reply!
Hi.
Do you know what? I think the it has only 503 mgb in good sectors and the rest are in bad sectors,
use the scandisk to check if it has any bad sector.
make know what do you found.
