Hi Barry,

DOS uses the FAT16 (sometimes the even older FAT12) file format to address
data on a HDD.  If you've ever installed DOS on a HDD greater than 2GB
you'll note that DOS only uses the first 2GB for it's Partition, that's
because FAT16 can't address file storage greater than 2GB.

So it could be regarded as a fundamental problem with no way around it.

Reduce the size of the partition to 2GB and see what happens.
