Default Big partition problem (not 4Gb barrier!) with 50GB partitions...
Solved the previous HD size/parameter recognition problems by installing BB2, wich gave me around 111GB( strange as it's a 120 one), installed it, partitioned it, rebooted from emergency disk, reinstalled up to BB2 on 1st small 512MB partition and then started to format the other partitions, wich were organized like this:
512MB(for Amiga)/
1GB( for Debian/
1GB(.. Shapeshifter)/
1GB(other stuff)/
8GB(audio recordings/other data)/
50GB(Video/other data)/
50GB(video/other data 2)

Everything went well up till the 1st 50GB partition wich ended with (can't remember for sure) a "not a dos disk" message or something.
After rebooting I got the checkmark screen and after booting with the emergency disk the partitions were all gone

Is this a known problem ? Didn't find any big partion thread about it, they were all related to 4GB barrier.
