              You need a win98 start up disk. Since you don't have the cd, you can't make one. I thought that I saw one on the web somewhere that you could download, might want to search if you can. DOS will not be able to see all 4gb of that drive. The most it can handle is partitions of 2gb

                  fdisk and redifine your partitions. Then reinstall with you OS.

                              Grab something like partition magic, there's a couple sharewares out there that do the same thing. They'll let you get into your system and make it recognize the lost partition.

                                      R3K wins the prize on this thread ....

                                      All you need to do is boot using the win98 startup floppy ... from the DOS prompt type in 'FDISK', and reconfigure your partitions.

                                      very simple procedure

                                          Also, any of the proprietary floppy disks packaged with hard drives these days can do the job, too.

                                                      If you know who made your drive then download their tools from the website and use that disk to erase your drive. This takes longer to do for a Seagate drive than Maxtor, Western Digital or IBM.

                                                      You should be good to go after a full erase.

                                                                              THE KEY IS FDISK.

                                                                                      partition magic is the best to use

                                                                                      fdisk will not read the complete disk

                                                                                      somehow it wasnt formatted to dos
                                                                                      and fdisk uses dos to read the drive size

                                                                                      on second thought i think there are freeware programs that linux gurus use to partition there hard drives and you can specify to turn the drive back to a dos partition, but i havent touched linux in a few years
