    I bought linspire 5.0 and intalled it to dual boot with xp. I gave
    linspire 32 gigs of a 160 gig hd and now no matter what I do I have a 32
    gig hd unless I install linspire on it -- then and only then is it a 160
    hd. I've tried fdisk, DBAN, and partition boot manager.

    DBAN finally got rid of the partition but I still have a 32 gig hd
    unless I use the western digital set-up disk THEN only M$ recognizes the
    partitions.

    Any suggestion, anybody?

    I can't even use the disk as a slave with a linux os

    Should have stayed with xandros and mepis,
