I have two vintage Compaq Contura 400CX laptops and successfully made a working one out of them. I also put a 2-gig CF flash card in place of the original HDD. After partitioning, formatting and installing the OS (MS-DOS 5.0), things seemed to work normally. However, I discovered the partition is only 512 megabytes in size. I then re-partitioned it with Windows 98 boot floppy and found its size is still 512 megs. I switched a 4-gig CF on, everything still stayed the same. I am pretty confused, as I have heard that FAT 16 supports 2 gigs per partition. What could be the reason of the size shrink? Thanks!
