You've probably overwritten the drive parameter block on your hard drive. You'll need a disk utility which will fix it... such as OnTrack Disk Manager. The BIOS reads the DPB at boot to grab configuration information from the new "Biosless" drives... -JMS -----Original Message----- From: Gerald Davies [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, May 07, 2000 11:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] fdisk, disk druid, windoze ... HELP !!! Hi all, heres the scenario: i wanted to quickly erase linux (a temporary measure you see). So i erased some of the partitions using ms-dos fdisk. now theres one slight problem... i cannot see the whole HD in any O/S. In both windoze and linux it says theres 503meg free.. when its a 2.6gig HD. I've tried a lowlevel format but it still only allows 503meg ... somewhere i've done something *very* wrong and cannot fix this. can somebody please help me ASAP. TIA, Gerald.
