I am working on building a computer for my father-in-law and had everything up and running fine. I went to reformat the hard drive and I get a "not enough memory to proceed" error. The drive is a 45G IBM Deskstar. I have two partitions a 40G System C: and a 4G Secondary D: I reformated the D: just fine, but when I went to format the c: I got the error. Here is another wierd thing I found out. When I go into FDISK and look at the partitions they show the 4G and the 40G and I'm pretty sure that at one time I could see 40G showing in explorer. However, when I look now, c: shows the capacity at just over 7G. This shows up as 7G in DOS as well. I have tried both a format and a quick format and both get the error. One other thing, other than the problem I'm having, everything else seems OK (I'm using the computer to post this message). I hope someone can give me more ideas of things to try, because I'm at a loss. Thanks.
