<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>what am i doing wrong here? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>i went ahead with the install anyway just to get it
going, im hoping i can either expand the parts later with parted or something or
hopefully the extra space is just sitting there some where unpartitioned and i
just cant see it. im sure the drive is good it was working in another
system, non-linux.</FONT></DIV>
