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.


I agree..partition magic is great..i definately recommend it. The
program i use is very similar to partition magic. I use it because its
an OEM set and, like partition magic, works with a skew of hard drives
