I am building some systems that I acquired. These systems are pretty old. The ones I have up on the table right now are Dell /Dimesion XPS P60's. I have installed new memory chips, nic, video card, and hard drive. My problem is that when I run fdisk to create new partitions on the new drive (6Gig) it will only partition only 472MB. I have downloaded the updated BIOS for this machine from the Dell website and ran the update.
The BIOS is set to AUTO and it displays the correct size, # of heads and cylinders, but....
Can anyone help me?? Is it the size of the drive??
I have acquired 4 of these Dell machine. I need to get them running for very small minimal tasks. I only need to load WIN95 and 2 other common sized software programs; however, this requires more than the 472 MB it is allowing me to have.
