Under MS-DOS_v622, the built-in fdisk can only recognize about 8.4G of capacity.
My partition format is fat16, and the hard disk is 120G!
Annoying ah!!!

DOS doesn't recognize large hard drives. This is because DOS was developed before large hard drives became common.

It seems that there is a software that can make DOS recognize a 120GB hard disk.

Using MS-DOS 7.1 can support hard drives up to 2T. DOS 6.22 only supports up to 8.4G. If you want FDISK to support a 120G hard drive, use the FDISK of MS-DOS 8.0
