Francis :
          Your discrepancy in size is probably due to the formatted and
unformatted capacity of the drive. Realize that MS-DOS is not the only
operating system out there, while IBM machines can run any one of a 
number of operating systems. A Novell File Server will format the 
drive to a different data capacity, so will some variant of UNIX. 
 
You probably have formatted the drive out to the correct size for your
operating system. If not, check to see how many partitions you have
on the drive, if they all really exist, and if your system is seeing
all of them, not just one...
