    Hi,
    thank you all for help and input.

    I did the following:

    the new HD, a Samsung SP2014N installed in an IBM PC300PL 6862-V20

    After installing the HD I checked the BIOS configuration and saw that
    the PC only recognized about 8,6 GB.

    Well, could not figure out how to make the PC "see" the whole HD so I
    continued to install FC3.

    I used diskdruid and partitioned as follows:
    /dev/hda1: /boot 251MB
    /dev/hda2: LVM PV 190529MB

    hda2:
    /var 50016
    / 10016
    swap 4000
    /home 89608
    /usr 35008
    /tmp 2010

    ~From what I can see I miss about 8 GB.

    When rebooting I get the following error message:

    1880 PCI/PNP Error
    PXE M04

    Then it looks for Network startup and after a while finds FC3 and boots.

    Could it be that there is a hidden partition on the HD that diskdruid
    did not see and format?

    Any suggestions anyone?

    Regards,
    Truls
