[PLUG] linux hard drive troubles


I got a new ultra ATA 133 40 gig hard drive for Christmas and I tried putting it in a pentium II machine running redhat 9. I used fdisk to create a partition for it and makefs to create a filesystem but when I did df -h /dev/hdb it said I only had about 3 gigs on the drive. Do I need a controller card to use this hard drive on this system? If so, can anyone recommend an inexpensive controller card for this drive that will work with linux?
