Richard,
I don't think I've  seen a reply for your question, so I have a
suggestion...

Your drive is probably formatted with FAT16 so therefore it will
only recognize 2.1GB max.  A solution would be to convert to Fat
32 with either the Windows utility or use Partition Magic.

What you can do right away is run Fdisk and create logical
partitions with the remainder of the drive's unused space.  (with
fat16 they'll be only 2.1GB though).  So you'll have 3 2GB
partitions.

I did this with a 6.4GB HD whereas I created a Novell server on
one partition, Win98 on a second partition and a Linux server on
the third.  Don't ask me why...
