Well... I thought I was...  <sheepish grin>

I started fiddling with the drive I have last night, and noticed that
it had a very IDE-like connector.  No problem, I don't know much about
SCSI anyway, and for all I know they have the same exact connector
type.  So I booted up the system and started snooping around.  It
turns out its SATA.  I had thought it was SCSI because a) it's a fancy
system and very nice, and the drive was in /dev as sda.

So it's not SCSI, and furthermore it was somehow partitioned during
install with 3 10GB partitions in addition to the 6GB partition I
thought I had.  I swear I don't know how that happened.

But I don't need the drive now.  Thank you all for the offers.
