ok this sounds stupid, but i lost 30 gigs on my hard drive
in my imac. the partition was acting weird so i backed it up
and erased it, then it only showed half the size. so i used
pdisk in linux to delete it and it shows up in linux as 30 gigs
but i it wont format, and it wont show up in the mac os, even
when the file type is hfs

any ideas as to what happened

figured one of you people has had something simaler happen

Since you're using Linux, fdisk, or pfdisk is much more powerful than pdisk.


Oh, and this really belongs more in the iMac forum than the modification forum.

mmm.. not really. It is going to the Linux on Mac forum, though.
