I have an old Fujitsu MPB3064AT that the Compaq system it came from somehow hacked the firmware into displaying only a third of it's capacity. The drive is a 6.4 gig unit, but it keeps showing up (on any system) as a 2.1 gig drive. Why this was done is beyond me.
I noticed that when I started the Compaq system up, and old DeskPro EN system running on a PII 450, it mentioned something about it's configuration and to change it to use the Compaq User Dianostic Diskette.
I managed to locate this disk on the Compaq site, but while using it, it asks you to insert a "setup" disk, which I don't have. I looked all over the Compaq site and could not find a link to such a disk. So I'm dead in the water without this disk.
So I'm wondering if there is another way to bring this drive back to it's full capacity. Would performing a low-level format do it? It seems to me it wouldn't, as this strikes me as some kind of firmware hack.
So if anyone knows how I can revert this drive back to it's full capacity, please let me know. Thanks.
