    My 20 G Hard Drive Space reads only 1.79 G used and 209M free. Of course this happened after I formated my hard drive and reinstalled ME. What did I mess up and how can I fix the problem? Thanks.:D Note: I don't mind formating again if this helps.

    You've ended up with a FAT16 partition, limit 2 gig, and the rest is unused. Get the Windows 98SE or ME bootdisk from www.bootdisk.com and run fdisk from there. Make sure you select YES to the question about "large disk support ".
