[linux-help] Seeing past 2GB on a 7GB drive

[John Reinke <jmreinke@xxxxxxxxx>]

A friend of mine is trying to install Mandrake onto a 7 GB Maxtor 
hard drive. It sees the entire drive when using fdisk and such, but 
when he uses the Mandrake installer, it never sees beyond 2GB.

I should mention that he works on computers for living (mostly 
Windows), so he understands primary and extended partitions. Also, 
Windows NT is able to see the whole drive.

Anyone have an idea what the problem is?
