I have just formatted a maxtor 40 gig drive using the NTFS File system however i have upgraded to a larger drive and now i wish to use the 40 gig drive on another system, My problem is i have used a win98 boot disk to change the opeating system and ran FDISK to clean the drive ready for windows 98 se operating system for my daughter.Now my drive is only showing 8 gigs instead of the 40 gig. i didnot delete the dos systems in the correct order and now i am totally baffled as to what i may of done.
the display is
PARTITION STATUS TYPE VOL MBYTES SYS USAGE
C:1 A PRI DOS 8025 FAT32 100%
Can i recover the drive back to 40gig or is all lost
