Hi there,

how can I partition the above Gigabyte HD ? I want three partitions, 25%, 25%  
and 50 %. The manuals aren't very specific about this (at least I couldn't find  
enough infos), FAQs treat only smaller disks.

Anybody done this? BTW the disk seems to work using the standard menu-based  
initaliziation option (= one 900 MB partition), except for a very strange  
change in ownership occuring.
When changing directories using chown -R on the new disk, owners of other  
directories on the same tree level keep changing while the one wanted is  
reported correctly by ls -l afterwards.
OS version is 2.1

Is this a size problem, perhaps, or could it have to do with the fact that the  
disk is apparently recognized as an `optical' (an OD icon is displayed)?

Any help much appreciated. Email preferred, I will summarize.
Regards
