Large hard drives and debian

[Jose L Gomez Dans <nospam [at] sheffield.ac.uk>]

Hi!
I quite enjoy debian, and I'd like to install it in a large hard
drive. However, since slink has a 2.0 kernel, I suppose that it wouldn't be
too happy about a hard drive > 8.something Gb.

Is there an easy way to do this? I know debian uses fdisk, and I
suppose that you could call fdisk with the geometry you need, but... how on
Earth do you find that geometry out in the first place?

I'd like to have a section of the hard disk with a Windows
partition, which is already in place.

Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
jose
