Need help with laptop

I have an old Zeos Meridian 800 series laptop: 486DX4-100 processor, 20mb RAM, 540mb hard drive
The problem is, the system only recognizes 12mb of the hard drive, though when I check the BIOS, it reads the correct drive size. What's going on? And what can I do to fix it? I think my friend, whom I lent the laptop to, might have compressed the hard drive or something along those lines, but I'm not sure. Can anyone help? Thx
 
Get a win9x boot disk or DOS 6.xx boot disk and run fdisk. If your bios recognizes the drive as 540MB then you have fdisked it wrong
 
Hi!

I had a similar problem on my desktop comp. In my case in wasn't the harddrive at all, but a faulty dimm. Maybe worthwhile checking it out!

Good Luck!
