Man, I encounter the problem that I have never use fdisk before, I haven't
even use my win boot disk, but so far this is what I have done; I inserted
the boot disk and booted to a:\ drive.....then a message came up asking if
I want large disk support or not, what should I say here?????????????. Then
the command was on A:\ so I type the following
A:\ fdisk
after this f disk started up. he other thing is that as you already know I
have two HD and the want that I want to use with fdisk is the # 2, but when
I got to the fdisk menu it said that there was 1 fixed drive on my machine.
It seems that fdisk can not detect the other one, been this the case how do
I fdisk repair my D and not my C drive????. Also from the 5 choices in the
fdisk menu, which should I take?????
