We'd been having problems with one of our P233 computers (QDI motherboard,
4GB hard drive, Award BIOS) when we discovered it was reporting two hard
drives C: & D:.  We hadn't added another drive or partitioned the original,
so we were stumped.  We were about to format and start over via Fdisk when I
remembered we could check the partition info in Fdisk.  It reported two
primary DOS partitions of the same size as the hard drive.  We deleted D:
and everything seems back to normal.  Is it possible to have the same drive
as two primary partitions of the same drive?  Did I even ask that question
correctly!?
