This is for RTs, not PCs . I have directed followups to comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc, but maybe they should go to a comp.os.msdos.* group. It seems obvious that this is a clone running MSDOS, so here are a few scenarios: 1. You are running MSDOS 3.3 or lower with BIOS that fully recognizes your drive type: use FDISK to create another DOS partition. 2. You are running MSDOS 4.0 or greater with BIOS that fully recognizes your drive type: same as before, but you could have partitioned C: to be the whole drive. 3. Your BIOS doesn't fully support your drive type: you need to get something like OnTrack's DiskManager or Storage Dimension's SpeedStor to manage your hard drive for you. +-----All Views Expressed Are My Own And Are Not Necessarily Shared By------+ +------------------------------My Employer----------------------------------+ + Ronald S.
