You probably have to use the Maxtor tools that came with the HD, usually a floppy that you use to partition it. Alternatively, FDISK *might* be able to do this, but you'll have to answer "Yes" to FAT32 or "large disk" support. If FDISK doesn't work then you definitely need to use the Maxtor tools disk that came with the drive.

It is because the drive manufacturers say 1 meg = 1,000,000 bytes to make the drives seem bigger when actually it is 1,048,576 (1024x1024) just another example of marketing rodents distorting the truth.
