You might need to zero out the disk. There might be something there

I went to IBM's storage site and tried to put in the parameters I thought were right, however when I exited fdisk and the setup filesystems screen came up, none of the sizes were right. Has anyone else installed one of these with a 9 gig drive? ( IBM DNES-309170) Thanks.
