Re: DOS and Harddrive Capacity

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Thanks Colon. I downloaded that NewFDISK at the link you provided, copied it
to my Boot Disk, booted to A:\, ran FDISK and low and behold DOS reported
the correct GBs for each of my partitions that equalled the total capacity
of my HD. This is just excellent. Thanks a bunch. Jim

Using XP Pro w/SP2. When I Boot to A:\ and go into FDISK, it shows the
maximum capacity of the harddrive as 48935 GB BUT it is a WD 120 GB HD
formatted NTFS. Is there anyway to get DOS to read the correct capacity
of
the HD? Thanks in advance, Jim.



Go here:

Close to the bottom of the page you'll see download info for a revised
FDISK
program supporting larger hard disks. See the readme for info about
FORMAT.
