hard drive sometimes twice as big

i installed a 13 gb western digital and sometimes (not real often) when it boots up (w95osr1) it shows twice as many patitions as originally setup.  the pc has an older bios so i used the overlay program that came with it.  i don't think it is the overlay program because i have the same problem with a maxtor 10 gb on a machine that doesn't need the overlay program.  when it does this it copies the c drive to the additional drive letters.  what do you think?

I think it is Windows 95a, upgrade to Win95b and it should work. (or fdisk your drive with a Win95b bootdisk instead of using the overlay)

thanks otta

this looks like what i was looking for - much easier than upgrading.  next time i'll use the fdisk /x or use dos 6.22 fdisk to setup  the drive.  thanks again

later
