143066 2003-05-11 06:45:00 another words you can convert to fat32 but your drive isn't going to move from 2gb to 20gb. You'll need to start from the begining (new install) to fix that. roofus (483)
143067 2003-05-11 07:44:00 OK... You use Win98SE as the operating system.

We don't know how your NEW 20 Gig hard drive was installed.

Does the BIOS recognise the NEW hard drive as being 20 Gigs?

You purchased the 20 Gig drive. Did you install it yourself?

At this stage we have no idea whether your Motherboard will accept a 20 Gig hard drive do we.

Win98SE as the operating system will accept a 20 Gig hard drive when formatted using FAT32 file system.

Tell us what motherboard you have.

Don't play with FDISK unless you know what you are doing.

You do that then you won't have any data left.

If you bought the new hard drive ( 20 Gig ) and someone else put it in for you then I would suggest using a warranty if you have one.

Motherboard is MS6390 and will support 1-2000GB.

I can call QMB tomorrow and read the riot act.......
