Why only 8gig on 30gig HD?

[Lynx3D]

I got a brand new Abit KT7-Raid and a IBM DTLA307030. When connected to the ATA66 controller I can only use 8gigs. (on my old Epox MVP3E-board 30gig where displayed) Connected to the Raid controller partition magic shows the 30gig.
What would I have done if had bought the KT7 without Raid?

And I can't create any FAT32 partitions that exceed the first 8gig.
Guess that is due to the old Version (3.0) of Partition magic.

Can please someone explain these behaviors?

Thx,
Lynx

Use fdisk to create primary and extended partitions <8gigs each.
