The 2 top reasons would be corrupt logical drive records or a
filesystem that FDISK does not know about.

If you have PartitionMagic, try using it on that PC. Otherwise,
download the Ranish Partition Manager (or any other program that can
read different OS partition records, unlike FDISK that reads only
FATxx records...)

When you run RPM you will either be able to identify those logical
drives or to remove the partition record from the table and have some
free space that can be tackled with FDISK.

I do not have an URL for RPM, but either do a search for it or mail me
and I'll send it. It is smaller than 100k, and mighty useful for that
tiny size, IMHO.
