To check your real hard drive size, go into scsi card bios, and check the size.
Usualy Ctrl-a while booting, on Adaptec.

To check the hard drive size, grab the brand and model number and go to the manufacturers web site. They will have a listing of all their drives, eg seagate, maxtor etc.
As for the video driver, try

Doesn't mention Win 98, but maybe one of the others may work. Otherwise, you could always try emailing them.

Hi, you probably already checked this, but just to make sure...
Look at the properties of the C:\ drive and see that it is FAT32 and not FAT. FAT will only see up to about 2GB. You must enable large disk support when formatting the drive for FAT32. You can convert to FAT32 from FAT, but then I think that you will need some sort of partition manager to add the other disk space to the primary partition...

I'm with Lizzy! Format the drive FAT32 not Fat16. You may want to use the disk that came with the drive to do the drive format.

Ditto on the File Allocation Table(fat)issue. Plain Fat which is 16 bit only supports 2 GB drive size. You'll have to use fat 32 in order to get the full size. You could use a drive overlay program to set the drives up to the full size.
Run fdisk again and use fat 32. If you have critical data on the drives back up or make a image of the drives first.
You could also change the OS to fat 32 using the windows feature included with the system tools then use partition magic to claim the rest of the drive space.
If you have Symaantec's Ghost software, there's another way to save the data on C drive. After changing the drives to fat 32 you could use ghost to copy the contents of C drive to the D drive and use whatever size partition you want, then make that C. Afterwards just fdisk the other drive and put fat 32 on it.
