Old P133 machine.

Have 2 hard disks,
Had NT installed on machine but went to WIN98 2nd edition.
Primary disk C ok 1.6 Gigs ( This has the OS on it)
Slave Drive D is a 3 GB disk but only shows 4% (4 MB) space after using
FDISK and Format.

Unable to access remainder of space on D drive. FDISK sees the 3GB drive but
says only 4% is available.

How do I fix this?

Hi,

It could be that the D: drive has a NTFS partition on it.
Use Wipe or Zap to remove all partitions on the D: drive.
Then repartition using fdisk.
Warning: All data will be lost, and be careful not to use it
on the C: drive.
