So looks like you should be able to type in a 4 digit year And going by: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/69912 Should support 2gb in DOS 6.22 This makes it seem like a bios issue: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/482/6 this implies there is a software fix: (search for 504) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255867 http://www.xs4all.nl/~gklein/bc.html#Q1-1-4 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of DHSinclair Sent: Monday, December 24, 2007 12:19 PM To: Hardware Group Subject: [H] FDISK and HD Size Does MS-Dos 6.22 and its' fdisk.exe have a size limitation of 504Mbytes max? Or is this my old bios sending bad hd geometry.......? I'm trying to clean up an IBM dpea-31080 (really old) to try and load FreeNAS. At least fdisk did show me 3 non-dos partitions on the drive. They are now gone per fdisk. Now fdisk tells me the max size of the hd is 504Mbytes. It really should be 1034Mbytes. This is not a shocker; just wondering? BTW, the only way I could be MS-DOS 6.22 to boot up was to lie to it and say the date was 12-24-1997! LOL! It would not accept "07" for yy. And, I'm still working with a suspect eide cable.......... :) Best, Duncan
