Yes, I guess that would have been polite to have provided more details.
Sorry.
These are WD Caviar IDE drives, one around 200, the other around 500,
master/slave jumpers correctly set, running as single drive off IDE channel
#2 on a P1 (socket 7) motherboard. Running Win95 "A". The BIOS
autorecognizes both drives.
Thanks for any input

I have a
couple of old WD hard drives I'm trying to revitalize. They say
they have no partitions, but when I try to lay in a partition, they say
there's no room.
Would a LLF take care of this (vide recent discussion)?
What model drives? What model controller(s)? "Old" is a flexible
term with computers, and WD has been around through a lot of the
evolution of hard disk technology. Some combos don't work at all,
attaching a WD1003 controller to a Caviar of any size doesn't work,
for example
