Thanks Alan,
I know the different ways that producers let the user think he/she has 
more GB than he actually has. But that is not my problem. My problem is 
that Gparted doesn't see the partition and only sees an unallocated 
space when in reality it is my main partition where all activity is 
happening (just as fdisk shows)
