make a small parition at the beginning of the drive and work with that, the linux tools will see the whole thing, if the kernel can.
The only potential problem here is that he might have to jumper the drive to be a lot smaller to fit under what I think is the BIOS 64GB limit for some older motherboards. If the BIOS can't read the drive in its 120GB state, then no amount of tiny partitions will allow him to boot. And if he jumpers the drive to be 64GB, then Linux will also agree that its 64GB and he loses half the drive size.
His choices are boot from floppy, or boot from a smaller master hard drive.

Have an old Asus k7m motherboard who's bios cannot handle the 120gig drive that replaced the 13gig that died. Any tips on how to get Linux installed and running again?
thanks
