Subject:	peculiar fdisk behavior

Hi all,
I have two fixed disks on this system. My bios identifies them as 850MB and
849MB respectively. They have both been partitioned with the DR-DOS FDISK
utility, but I get very strange statistics reported on my second drive.
The following shows the critical parts of the screen when fdisk is run on
both disks -- the first one looks okay, but the second one contains
contradictory data.
I have two questions:
1) Can anybody explain what is happening? and
2) How can I regain my missing 300MB on the second disk?

Thanks for any help...
