Hi all, I'm back to the list, with the same kind of questions.

As you remember (or not, so I'll write it again), I've bought a 10.2Gg
HardDisk for my Pentium166Mhz system. Because the BIOS is old, The HD is
recognized as 8Gg. That's Understandable. The problem came after I've
FDISKed the HD, in two Partitions of 3Gg and left the other 2Gg
UnPartitioned. I have the old HD in the system, and now he looks like this:

C: --> 3Gg (New HDD)
D: --> 2Gg (Old HDD)
E: --> 3Gg (New HDD)
.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  (No, I don't know why the system puts the Old HDD
between the two new partitions...)

The problem is tha Win98 (and DOS) sees the C: drive as 1Gg. Everytime I run
FDISK, he tells me that I have a 3Gg Dos-Formated partition (Partition Magic
tells the same), but windows is still seeing it as 1Gg. And it's not that
Win98 only thinks it's like this -- I'm actually with Disk Full (You know
1Gg its so easy to full).

More on my system:

.  .  2 HDD:
.  .  .  .  8Gg
.  .  .  .  2Gg
.  .  48Mg RAM
