George: I notice in your emails you come in as just a (period) in the "From" column. Could you check in your set up and see if you have entered you personal or business name. A (period) tends to denote deception, although not in your case. Not meddling...just a suggestion. -Ed- Ed Gaidies Tel-Tek Electronics Ontario-Canada teltek3@xxxxxxxxxxxx teltek@xxxxxxxxx On 3-Jan-05, at 2:01 AM, . wrote: Warren, I did a couple of 80GB IDE ATA 133 Maxtor Drives this week using the Windows 98 boot disk and received the same wrong readings. Not to worry it will have all of the drive space available just the boot disk is too old and can't read it out correctly. Recommend upgrading to XP to make better use of the drive space.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all!!! . I will try to describe the problem in short form. My wife bought me a new Intel 4 computer for Christmas but it does not have an Op Sys on it. She knew that I would want to image my existing C drive (win98 se) over to it. The new hard drive is an 80 Gig SATA hd and I think that this is complicating my tasks. My usual method of Fdisking the hd is not working! I'm booting from my win98se cd. and using the fdisk from there. When you try to create your primary dos partition you are asked if you want to be able to handle large size hd's Y or N so you say Y (fat32). I wish to create an extended partition by the way, so that I can have many drive letters on the hd up to the letter L. This will match my old system that I have now-- don't ask why. When you finish creating your Primary dos partition the max size that it shows is 10781Mbytes not 80000 Mbytes. What happened to my other 70 G's. I feel confident with all the other tasks ahead of me but I must get the hard drive partitioned and formatted the way I want first. Thanks to all.
