Hi

I encountered a mixed problem which made me confused completely.
I bought a 10.2 GB Quantum Fireball Hard Disk Drive (HDD) 2 weeks
ago. When At first I tried to fdisk and format it, I found that
with none of the DOS 6.2 boot disk and Win 98 startup disk, the
usual fdisk program could recognize the full capacity of HDD and
just ~9700 MB of the disk fdisked (I rejected the FAT 32 option
becuase I wanted to install Win 95 (old persian ver.),Win NT and
Linux OSs too). Up to this level I'd lost some 500 MB of my HDD.
I installed System Commander 4.0 and tried to install an old Win 95
while I had a Win 98, by its help. The utility split my p
revious
1 GB C drive into a 600 MB C drive and a new 400 MB L Drive by
adding another primary partition (i.e. L). Now:

1.What can I do if I want to retrive the former situation (removing
the new primary partition and having a 1 GB C drive? It's worth
mentioning I tried the System Commander to do so but the system halted.

2.If you think there is no way to get rid of the think there is no way
to get rid of the case and the only
solution is repatitioning the HDD, what is your recommended way to
have the full capacity of the drive and Win98, Win95, Win NT and
Linux OSs simultaniously on it?
My PC is a P233 MMX (Intel) with a ASUS TX Smart-E motherboard and
64 MB RAM.
Thanks in advance and
Best Regards.
