&gt; but it is detecting only 33.8 GB<br />
If BIOS upgrade doesn't resolve the issue, then your motherborad is too old to support the 80GB hard disk.<br />
I have a lot of old Dell computers with PII 550 MHz or less speed CPU don't support the hard disk more than 64GB.<br />
Don't use the new 80GB hard disk with your old motherboard, or you will have a lot of troubles.<br />
<br />
Upgrade the motherboard (or PC) if it can not detect the 80GB hard disk.<br />
<br />
Good luck,<br />

I bought new Seagate hard disk of 80 GB. I try to install Fedora core 1 on that but it is detecting only 33.8 GB. now how can i install linux on that new HDD. in bios it also shows 33.8GB. I have no other HDD avail to install from that. <br />
<br />
One more question Can Fedora core allows to install it on 80GB first and while installing can i create win FAT32 partitions and then install win98 on that?
