Tanks for you info. I found the problem by just tring a couple of 
numbers i have seen. The change of sysinstall was wrong and by changing 
it back to 48521/16/63 i was able to access the full disk space.

I don't have a clue to the number in the BIOS, but that doesn't matter 
now.

Tanks for your answers,
Alex
