When I'm committing the changes in PM5.0 to use the whole HD as 1 partition.
It hangs during the process at about 49 to 50%.
This is on a ABIT BE6-II on the normal IDE channel.  The exact same thing
happens on a ABIT-BH6 motherboard too.

However, I can so with FDISK and format the whole partition in dos or
dos-prompt (under windows)  without problem.

Is this just an issue with PM5.0?  should I be concern?  IBM drive fitness
test shows no problem in both quick and advance test....

Thanks in advance,
-V
