I have been having issues with installing a new primary hard drive(80GB) as
may be noticed in previous posts. Now that all appears good, and the PC is
running well I have noticed these odd numbers.

I have Norton Partition Magic installed and when I look at the partition
info is shows no trouble and 76.3 GB (OK).

If I double click on my computer and right click on the C drive icon and
click on properties I also see a total of about 76 GB.

Now for the strange number:

If I go to a command prompt from the Windows 98se Desktop and type
fdisk/status the C drive is reported as having 126124 megabytes ?

get the newer version of FDISK from the link in that KB article, and replace the old
version with it....then see if fdisk /status is still inaccurate. As long as the
others show the correct size, it is a non-issue anyway.
