During the DOS high-level format, the drive does not format
to full capacity.
• Verify your computer's CMOS drive type setting. One of these
problems may have occurred: 1) CMOS Setup may be set for
an incorrect drive type or translation geometry; 2) you may
have entered a parameter value that exceeded the physical
capacity of the drive; or 3) you selected a CMOS geometry or
drive type that does not take full advantage of the drive's
capacity.
If any of these cases is true, follow the instructions on page 7
for configuring the computer. If you reset the CMOS drive type,
partition and high-level format the drive again. Note that DOS
does not allow more than 1,024 cylinders.
• If you partitioned the drive into individual logical drives, you
may need to make the partitions smaller so that the computer
can use all of the drive's capacity.
