I have a Toshiba 30Gb drive in a 480CDT laptop which was originally
formatted to NTFS.  In Fdisk the drive is reported at the correct size.   I
wish to install WIN98 on this drive using the first 4GB for the Op' System
and programs and the remainder of the drive as Drive D for data etc.   I
deleted the NTFS partition and repartitioned using Fdisk but it now only 
reports
8gb.   What do I need to do to be able to use all of the hard drive
capacity?
