Following on from a previous question regarding FDISK
problems with large hard disks (a problem which was
extremely quickly sorted by a couple of very helpful
chaps), I have run into more similar difficulties.
Although my 2x 250gB hard drives have now been
successfully FDISK'ed as Drives C, D, E and F all at about
120gb each, I then cold rebooted from floppy to start
formatting them, however, the format program only reports
about 53gB each.
I was wondering whether there was a new version of the
FORMAT program to accompany the new version of the FDISK
program I used to resovle the first problem. My current
FORMAT.COM is dated 23/04/1999 22:22:00 with a byte size
of 49575.
Thanks in advance.
