NOW you can see where a chunk is missing eh? I have a 320g hard drive.
You're not missing any. That's just some of the standard faggotry that confuses this joke industry beyond all kinds of insanity. There'll be a million questions online about this. It's a 1024 = 1000 (to help humans, ostensibly = confused the fuck out of everything) problem.
GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes
GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes
What the O/S calls a gigabyte is actually a gibibyte (GiB) = 1*1024*1024*1024=1073741824 bytes.
320000000000 / 1073741824 = 298.02 (GiB)
320 GB = 298 GiB

This option deletes all partitions and creates a new protective MBR.
Proceed? (Y/N): n
Command (? for help):
what the bloody hell, why would I want a shiny new protective MBR???
Blank drive? You will lose your ability to boot doing that I think. You'd have to recover your partitions using TestDisk

You may need to edit /etc/fstab and/or your boot loader configuration!
so my /etc/fstab.hd says
IGNORE THIS FILE.
This file does nothing, contains no useful data, and might go away in
future releases. Do not depend on this file or its contents.
Scute, little help please?
Ignore . and Ignore.
The suggestion to edit /etc/fstab is for Linux users using a old distribution or kernel. The Mac OS X /etc folder is full of all kinds of creepy shit. I have no idea why that file is included because I deleted mine and it no effect but who knows with the creepy shit BSD insisted on Apple including in that /etc config folder. So so creepy this industry.
Linear Mode
