I had installed Mandrake 6.1 in my Win 98 box with partitioning. After several weeks as I got another PC to play around with, I decided to remove mandrake from that box. I did a cold format after using fdisk to claim the space taken by Mandrake. However, I see my HDD only 3.33 GB under win 98 where it should be 4.9 (!). Interesting fact is on fdisk it says 4.9 gb but not on windows. I have re installed (with new formatting) windows now several times but experienced the same problem everytime. My BIOS are fairly new so I know they support large disks. Any clue anyone ? ----- Sent using MailStart.com ( http://MailStart.Com/welcome.html ) The FREE way to access your mailbox via any web browser, anywhere! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
