I dont know why but every time i fdisk it it only recognizes 10GB of the 80 GB HD. I have this config:

Liteon CDRW on master on different cable in IDE 1
HD on IDE 0 on separate cable....both drives are on master.

win 98 boot disk....

HELP!

You are using an old revision of FDISK.EXE that wraps around at 64 GiBytes. That's why your "80GB" drive with its actual capacity of around 75 GiB shows as 10 GiB.
