Should mention that not having 48bit LBA enabled on a large drive has evil potential beyond not seeing all the available space. Some 28bit routines do not handle the roll-over and will corrupt the filesystem. For that reason the drives I haul around have a 137GB partition with the extra on manually mounted filesystems. Never know when I'll have to plug into some old beast or dual boot to 98/2k.
