Sorry, what I should have said was it recognized 8 Gigs of the New HD and
2 Gigs of the old HD that I set up as the 2nd HD. (Is it strange that it
recognizes the old 2 Gig HD after the 8.4?).

Does this mean that I can go back and FDISK with MS-DOS7 and it will
recognize the whole HD? Or should I return this HD and exchange it for a 10
Gig?
