Turn on your computer after you have inserted a bootable diskette such as DOS or your Windows®

than 8 GB. DOS FDISK will not recognize drives larger than 8 GB.
FDISK
Type FDISK at the A:\ prompt after booting to a bootable diskette. If Windows® 95 OS/R2 or Windows®
98 is used, the following screen will appear.
Your computer has a disk larger than 512 MB. This version of Windows
includes imporved support for large disks, resulting in more efficient use of
disk space on large drives, and allowing disks over 2 GB to be formatted as
a single drive.
IMPORTANT: If you enable large disk support and create any new drives on
this disk, you will not be able to access the new drive(s) using other
operating systems, including some versions of Windows 95 and Windows
NT, as well as earlier versions of Windows and MS-DOS. In addition, disk
utilities that were not designed explicitly for the FAT32 file system will not be
able to work with this disk. If you need to access this disk with other
operating systems or older disk utilities, do not enable large drive support.
Do you wish to enable large disk support (Y/N)...............? [N]
Type Y to select the FAT 32 file system. Type N to select the FAT 16 file system.
