Thanks Pam:

I went back into CMOS setup and looked at the HD options.  The problem being
that at one time it did recognize 2.1gig.  The bootup screen shows 2.1 gig.
The CMOS options  list "normal" "LBA" and "large" but the cylinder counts are
different.  I tried setting it to LBA and when I boot up it hangs.  I get the
message "non system disk" although there is no floppy inserted.  I put in a
boot disk (Dos 6.2) and went to the fdisk screen.  I displayed option 4
(display partitions) and it listed just the 500mg partition and said that was
100% of the space available.

By choosing LBA or Large  in the CMOS setup, would I then have to delete the
existing partition and reformat?
