BIOS problem, maybe? You don't say what equipment you have, but I've known
motherboards that had problems with drives over 8 gigs.

have a 13gb ide drive with only 3gb used by windows.  After
defrag/scandisking I run fips from a boot floppy.  fips seems to run
normally, giving me the option to set a new partition size, but it only
gives 250megs as the largest size of the new partition.   For some reason
fips thinks that I have 12.5gb of win95 data.  I looked for hidden files as
instructed in the doc file for fips--nothing that I can find that would
affect it, and my disk is not mirrored.
