format quits b4 finishing
hi i have a 2 gb hd. i ran fdisk and set up 1 active
partition. next i ran format and it stops b4 completeing leaving me with an unformmatted c: drive. if i rerun fdisk and set the partition to 1gb (half of my 2gb drive) it will then complete the format, but where did half of my useful space go?
