Hi,

this is perhaps not specifically a Thinkpad question, but I hope somebody can 
help me.

The label on my HD says that it is a 5.1GB HD. My control centre information 
says that I have two block devices: 100.1MB and 4.0GB. When I installed RedHat 
I chose the option of wiping out any other partitions, so as far as I know I 
only have 4.1GB of HD.

Does anybody know how can I find the true size of my HD irrespective of how 
many partitions / operating systems / etc. I have?

Thanks,
Angel de Vicente
