Hi everyone.

I recently bought an IBM 386SX with a 40 megabyte hard disk.
Now, people are telling me that the PC cannot handle more
than 32 MB of hard disk space. That would mean that there are
8 MB on my hard disk which are just sitting there, unused.
 
Others have said that MS Windows can use those extra MB's 
as a virtual memory, but I don't know how to do that.
 
Is thare anybody who can explain?
