If running setup /u, there is no way you should get the "see section
2.4" message. /U disables the partitioning check that would refer
you to section 2.4

Fdisk can erase the partitions it recognizes - the last 4 - but DM
might have another partition (it allows up to 15). Try setup /u, if
you loose a partition uninstall, setup /f, and install DOS manually
(boot, dir c:\dos [to confirm correct access of drive], sys a: c:,
del c:\dos [I assume here you have a backup of your old DOS if you
might need it later] copy a: c:\dos, insert next disk, <F3>, insert
next disk, <F3>, etc).

If you run fdisk and choose option 4, how big does it see your partition 
as? (Since it's DOS 4, it will tell you in MB, not cylinders :-)

It may be your system's ROM BIOS cannot properly use your entire disk.
That's one of the purposes of disk manager (and the DMDRVR.BIN driver).
FDisk & DOS will only use the system's ROM BIOS.  You may need to repartition
with DM.....
