Partion and size of harddrive looks strange?
Hello!I have just bought a new Harddrive at 160GB.
I installed "Mandriva 2008" without notice the hardrive size.
Unfortenately I mess everything up and I need to install again.
But when I try to install "Mandriva 2008" for the second time I got to go through harddrive partion set up. I selected "Erase Harddrive".
From the first installation there is partions left.
sda=63MB
hda=147GB
Right now I format the hda6. If I remeber it correct it looked like hda was devided like this:
hda1=7.8GB
hda_something=3,2GB
hda6=137MB
BTW I guess
hda1=the Linux OS
hda_something=swap space
hda6=file storege for "home" folders
Correct me if I'm wrong.
How ever 147GB + 63MB is not 160GB.
Where is my missing 13GB?????
Hope some one could help me out and explain it.
Best regards
Fredrik
