FDisk is not letting me use my HD

[Konyaha]

I'm setting up a build, and am using FDisk to delete the old partition on my hard driveand create a new one. I have successfully done this, but FDisk will not let me create a partition (wether it be primary, extended oir logical) larger than 12624 megabytes

Thanks alot for any help

Enable large HD support when starting FDISK

I did. I pressed Y then enter, but it's not making any difference

Konyaha,

Ah , The unfathomable mysterious fdisk issue returns....

I had the same issue with fdisk on my friend's Hard disk.

The only way i did a partition later was by using windows xp disc.

Alright, sweet.

Where can I find diskpart?

Konyaha,

Boot from the windows Xp cd. Select 'R' after it boots to enter recovery console. After a few seconds, you will get a command prompt.

then type ' diskpart'

Rest is self-explanatory.
