Thanks for the help Peter - I have no idea what size the disk is - I bought the computer from a charity shop for $5.00 !!! Really I believe, as you obviously do, that DOS lies but wanted to be sure. Also the reading from both BIOS and Partition Manager cause me some confusion. Ivan. >-- >------- >Peter D.
