Hi! I recently acquired an 810mb HD (IBM Brand) and proceeded to reformat and partition it so that I could have a DOS/Windows/OS2 (FAT) partition and a Linux partition. After formating the Drive, (using MS-DOS 6.22) I only saw 770 megs... I figured that it had defaulted to a huge sector size or something like that and therefore ignored the problem... Now I'm trying to use Linux's FDISK to create a linux and swap partition and it seems that my HD and the partition table are very confused. Any sugestions? Should I reformat w/ PC-DOS? MS-DOS 6.3? Should I do a fdisk /mbr? I did format the disk once for HPFS (before this happened) and tried to intall dual boot in it. I could not figure it out, so i reformated w/ DOS (I think that the 770megs first appeared when I reformated for HPFS) If this sounds confusing, it is because I am... Thanks in advance...
