Thanks for the help Philo but the drive properties shows
up as a FAT32 c/w large disk support. That's what's so
puzzling. I have an older version of Partition Magic and
will give that a try.

Thanks Ron, for your suggestion on BootIt Next
Generation. Sounds like an interesting piece of software
and will go have a look.

Replaced a crashed drive with a new one same size (40GB)
and installed the OS, drivers, and software with no
problems. Disk size was reported correctly and Scandisk
and Defrag ran without a problem. I tried to install a
new program today and I get a "not enough disk space"
error. When I go to check my disk space it shows only
136
MB available and a total disk space of 1.99 GB and 1.86
GB
used. What happened and how can I fix it without having
to reformat and installing everything again??


you probably did not notice at the time
but you evidently failed to enable large drive
support...so originally
just created a fat16 2 gig drive

you have three choices:


1) delelte everything using fdisk
then recreate. jusr be sure to enable large drive support


2) run fdisk and create add'l partitons (logical)

3) use a 3rd party utility such as partition magic
to convert and resize
