Hello all,
Sorry to copy/paste text but I don't have attachement permission.
It's been 'analysing cylinder' for about two weeks and has ended with the text below. My question is, do I need to keep the computer running while I work out what to do next? Or is it ok to shutdown or restart? I'm just paranoid about shutting down and having to wait another two weeks to get back to this point!
Thanks in advance,

The harddisk (4000 GB / 3726 GiB) seems too small! (< 9223374 TB / 8388609 TiB)
Check the harddisk size: HD jumper settings, BIOS detection...
