Marc,

Your friend's computer is not capable of "seeing" a drive bigger
than 520 meg. You need to use FDISK and set up TWO partitions, a
primary(50%) and an extended (50%), then you can format C: and
format D: and your friend will have two hard disks.

+++OR++++

Use the software that came with the hard drive to set up the Dynamic
Drive Overlay so that DOS can see the whole disk at once.
