hd lost 10gb?

[Game master pro]

I have slackware 10.2 and it detecs the harddrive as 30gb, it is a 40gb, my bios recognizes it as only 38gb, and i used to have ubuntu, and with ubuntu it found it as 40, which it is, how do i get it to recognize my whole drive?

<irony> woudln't it be funny if /dev /hdd5 was 9.0gb? </irony>

how big did you make /dev/hdd5? And are there any other volumes on /dev/hdd?

i think /dev/hdd5 was around 200mb, and no that's all

Does cfdisk or fdisk show that you have any empty space? That big chunk had to have gone somewhere, and I think a partitioning tool can tell you where.
