I just purchased a Maxtor 120GB MXTL01P120 hard drive and when I tried to install it with Redhat it wrote over the partition table describing it as only 8GB. I tried doing linux rescue and lilo complained that the physical and logical disk sizes did not match (logical was the correct size, physical was the 8GB). Any idea what could be causing this?
