Resolution: Thanks to all. This problem is now resolved.
What was necessary was to switch the BIOS to disk type USER and enter the c/h/s figures off the drive, because the updated BIOS still didn't auto-detect these. (I had assumed that these were limited by bitcount and hadn't tried to exceed the autodetected values; I had also had trouble seeing the figures on the disk, since my eyesight doesn't seem to be quite as good as it used to be. It was only today that I realised they weren't a model number.) LBA needs to be turned off. With that done, cfdisk sees the correct size. I haven't yet tried it with Windows 95; I understand that that may need something called OSR2 which I haven't located yet. Maybe I should go to Win 98... -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP key from public servers; key ID 32B8FAA1 ======================================== "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee."
