it Then goes on to say:
Total disk space is 8056 MB (which should be correct for a
8 GB drive) The Extended DOS Partition contains Logical DOS
Drives

when I display the logical drive info I get:
No logical drives defined
Total Extended DOS partition size is 353 MB

THE tool for this is Partition Magic. Get some kind person to
lend you thier 2 floppy disk set and away you go!
I haven't found anything as sure and reliable.
