DFI K6BV3+/66 & hard drive capacity

[Chromedome45]

I think I'll install a drive tray and experiment around with my drives some. I tried FDISK/MBR on the 2112 and it still only sees 528. Somewhere I have a utility that can restore some of these "cut down in size" drives. Used it once on a 20GB that was actually a 40GB. And restored it back to full size. Can't remember the name of it now. The utility that is.

What's the model # on that drive?

Try some kind of linux live CD and see if you can whack out any partitions from it, or if you can even create a FAT partition of the full size.

Seagate Medalist 6422 6 GB. As far as Linux I have a few oldies that might work on this system. I'll try that too.

No, the 2GB drive that only gives 528MB.

Let's see what the drive says about itself: Try running the attached (DOS) program.

I actually just got it fixed. Used a program called HDAT2 to wipe out the drive. Now Fdisk sees the entire 2.1 GB!

Told you it was a DDO... They're hard to see in that they redirect INT 13H services.
