I've just bought a new computer with a 5.1gig hard drive, however only
2.1gig
is showing up as its size.

I have Win95 B so it should have no trouble recognizing this size drive.

I could not install Win95 direct from the dos prompt because it said it
needed expanded memory.  So I installed dos first, which configered my hard
drive as one of the first steps.  When this was installed I then installed
Win95, but only 2.1gig was recognized.

Is installing dos first causing the problem? 


PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!
