Hello to everyone who replied.
Those that replied pointed out that DOS has a maximium drive size of
2Gbytes.
The actual size is 2047 Mbytes.
For those like me who were unaware of this limit here is how I have now
setup my hard drive.
First my existing drive set up was
C: 20 Gbyte
D: 30 Gbyte
E: 10 Gbyte
The rest for Linux.
First I saved everything off D & E drives.
Then I started FDISK and selected Large drive Y and then deleted
D & E Logical drives.
Then selected make new logical drive and set size at 30000 Mbytes.
This made drive D:
I then closed Fdisk and restarted Fdisk & selected Large Drive No.
Then selected make new logical drive 2047 Mbytes
This made drive E:
Then selected make new logical drive 2047 Mbytes
This made drive F:
Closed Fdisk
The remainder of the drive will be used for Linux which will have to be
reinstalled. If you change a partition or logical drive you lose whatever is
beyond it on the drive.
I have now reinstalled the saved files and all seems well, I hope.
