Default Showing bad disk capacity

The Windows98 Explorer shows bad disk capacity using the properties/general feature window. In fact with fdisk command, information: i have partition c: 2047 Mbytes FAT32 pri dos type, and a d: 4095 Mbytes FAT32 ext dos. The Explorer shows me c: 5.98GB disk capacity and d: 3.99GB. The information is not good for the c: partition. Is there a way to resolve this problem....

OS: Windows 98 Second Edition

Thank you

Please open a DOS box, type the following exactly, and press Enter:
fdisk /status

Copy and paste the resulting screen of info into a reply here.

To do as Glee suggests & adding MSInfo32...

(1)
(a) "START button, Programs, MS-DOS Prompt"
(b) FDISK /Status
(c) Use the "MARK", outline text with mouse, "COPY" button to post the
results.

C:\FDISK /Status
Disk Drv Mbytes Free Usage
1 19092 8298 57%
C: 7996
E: 2798
2 38169 100% Full drive
D: 7996 One partition
F: 7996
G: 7996
H: 7996
I: 6187

(2) "START, Run, MSInfo32". Use the mouse to highlight relevant info &
the Edit menu to Copy it...

Windows-managed swap file on drive C (6458MB free)

Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,
