I have received a used IBM PC with a 40 meg Tulin hard disk and a DTC
controller.  Unfortunately, the system believes that it has a 10 Meg
disk.  The system is now running Venix.  FDISK tells me that I have a 10
Meg disk.  I would appreciate knowing how to tell the system that the disk 
is really a 40 Meg disk?  (A diagnostic program that came with the system 
scanned the disk and verified the size).

Thanks for any assistance.
