cylinders? No - I've yet to meet a hard drive with over 156 million cylinders. If you guys have seen one, please donate, it's bound to be a ginormous drive. I think they're measured in 512 byte blocks or something. I have a 20Gb drive and mine shows up at roughly 40 million. So if you have an 80Gb, roughly double (160 million) sounds right to me.
