I wasn't exactly sure where to post this, but I knew I could find valuable help here. I'm trying to partition a brand new hdd in a brand new system in msdos ( a boot disk) with fdisk, and it keeps showing up as much less space than it actually is. With the Dos 6.0 version it shows up as only 8 gbs, and with the win98 dos version it shows up as 40 gbs... well its a 250 gigabyte hdd. Before I go into dos bios detects my hdd at 250... its just once im in fdisk and everything it's not showing up correctly. Seeing that it shows up differently with each boot disk, i figure it's the boot disk... but can't figure out how to get it to work. I'm hoping this is somewhat of a common problem, and i can get some help. Anybody have any ideas... i know this is the cpu forum, but any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
