IBM PC330/PC350 - 2.0GB shown on 2.5GB hard disk
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom :
IBM PC 300 Series 6577 and 6587 systems preloaded with Windows 95 may display 2.0GB of "total disk space" with ScanDisk or CHKDSK, when performed on an IBM 2.5GB IDE hardfile containing only one partition.
Problem Isolation Aids :
A limited number of PC 300 Series 6577/6587 models KBT, 9BT, and LBV systems with Dates of Manufacture of 1/16/97 through 1/29/97, were manufactured with a 2.5GB IDE hardfile, FRU P/N 76H0961, formatted for a single 2.0GB partition. The reason for the 2.0GB partition instead of a 2.5GB partition is due to the 2.0GB partition size limitation of the DOS operating system.
The result of this partitioning will make the remaining 500MB of disk unavailable.
The 2.5GB IDE hardfile should have contained a 2.0GB partition and a 500MB partition.
Fix :
To resolve this problem, run FDISK from Windows 95 or a bootable DOS diskette to partition the remaining 500Mb.
If additional assistance is required, contact the IBM PC Company HelpCenter at 1-800-772-2227 or your country support center.
