I was installing NT Server on a machine and during format process it crashed. When I restarted the computer 18GB of a 20GB HD was gone. How can I get this HD Drive back to the original amount of space.

I am working on a similar problem.
The hard drive is compressed to FAT 32 and the partitioning is not "logical" for dos space requireed.

I was advised to use a "boot disk" and to use "FDISK" to repartition and then (using same boot disk), run FORMAT.EXE

I tried this, but I think we need to identify the hard drive A, B, C, etc.

I am stuck at this point, but the sugested solution should work if you know the proper perameters to access the hard drive from the A drive.
