I HAVE A 15 GIG HARD DRIVE THAT SHOWS 10 MEG IN THE BIOS AND WHEN I RUN FDISK IT SHOWS 10 MEG AND FAT 12 CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE

Please give us a little more info about your system...especially Operating System. With releases of Windows 95b and on you should be able to use the FAT32 file system when you f/disk the hard drive it will ask you something like "Your system is capable of enabling large disk support...would you like to enable large... Then choose yes, but first, let's see what you've got to work with before doing anything. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif
ps-I believe it should be telling you that FAT16 is enabled (not sure if FAT12 exists).

Yes sir, it exist alright. It uses a 12 bit allocation table entry and is used mostly on floppies. I belive 10MB is as big as a FAT12 partition can be.

Hope this helps

How about just deleting the FAT 12 partition with fdisk, then partition it with FAT 16 or 32? If fdisk cannot delete it, use this Debug Script to Clear Partition Sector (http://www.firmware.com/support/bios/hdclear.htm).
