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...
