i have a 60gb hd but it's only currently using 5gbs at the moment. did i botch something during install in the partioning process? what's preventing me from accessing the other sectors of the drive? i've having difficulty reading the information--
Disk /dev/hda: 61.4 GB, 61471162368 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7473 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

/dev/hda1 * 1 12 96358+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 13 194 1461915 82 Linux swap

I agree with geforce; it sounds like you told fdisk the wrong partition sizes. It thinks your /dev/hda3 partition is only 5.6 gigs. Re-read the section in the gentoo install howto about using fdisk and how to partition drives. That should fix the problem. If you still have trouble, repost.
good luck
