So I went looking for something different. I found a free program called 'Active Killdisk'. It did 'talk' to the hdd by writing 0's to it, which took 22 hours. Even though the drive was clean, it at least recognized the drive. I felt I was getting somewhere at last Fdisk was now co-operating, but showed only mb, ouch!.
So, off I went again and came across another free program by Visopsys called 'Partition Logic'. It found ,mb which is a whole lot better than the other lot. I split it in two partitions, formatted it and exited.
While on the subject of FREE software, the latest 'Super fdisk' is free, but on installing it's a demo. So I canceled. Windows install was still the same. So I changed my plans and decided to put WinXP on a drive of it's own, and transfer all other data to the new drive. It's showing just under the ,mb, but that seems the best I can do. Disk Manager and My Computer are happy with that, and so am I.
