And a not so quick answer....
A number of questions before the answer....
1. What version of
Windows are you running?? Win95 original... Win95B... Win95C...
Win98... Win98SE... WinNT???
2. Where did drive D go
to?? ------> important question!!!!
3. Depending on the
version of Windows, you may have to reformat the hard drive and lose ALL
your data to reclaim the
1.3GB. Is this what you
want???
4 Depending on
the version of Windows, you will have to use a program such as
PartitionMagic to recalim the 1.3GB.
BE SURE TO
BACK UP YOUR HARD DRIVE BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAKE SURE
YOU HAVE MORE THAN 32MB OF RAM BEFORE ATTEMPTING
THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FROM REAL
LIFE EXPERIENCE..... DISREGARD THIS 32MB RULE .... AND
YOU'LL BE SORRY...
The
PartitionMagic people STILL... after 2 weeks, have not responded to my
request as to how to "fix" my problem... I
had 16MB of RAM. In their readme file it says
you should have 32MB before resizing/moving large partitions... but who
reads the readme file
beforehand....
Eventually, and not hearing from PartitionMagic.... an EXCELLENT product
BTW, I reforamted my hard drive and lost everything!!!
Strongly suggest getting a "qualified" computer technician to
assist you.....
This stuff is "NOT FOR THE FAINT OF
HEART"!!!!
Hope this helps.... probably not what you wanted to hear...... heh....
that's life...
Let me know if I can be of any other assistance..

Just a quick question.
a) I removed a partition that I had on one of my hard drives (ie. I
removed
drive e:). It was a partition of c:. After the removal (with
FDisk) I
don't get a larger c: drive. The hard disk is 3.1GB and that should
all be
the c: drive. I am only getting a reading of 1.9GB.
b) On startup if I enter setup there is a 3.1GB hard drive. It
appears that
windows is not recognizing the extra 1.2 GB or that the C: drive must
be
reconfigured.
Any suggestions would greatly help.
Thanks in advance for any leads,
Ed
