Make sure your BIOS supports LBA mode. Else use a drive overlay,
which can also be a source of problems later.

I have a 1 gig drive in a 486. The BIOS sees the whole 1.2 gig (wd caviar
21200)
and I have set the parameters from the plate on the drive into the bios...
But FDISK insists that the drive is only 504 MB. Who ate half of my disk
drive??
can I get it back?
how?
I have tried to create secondary partitions but "no disk space remains"
Thanks.
