Or is my drive just partitioned. How can I tell without taking the top off the pc. When I type fdisk /status it says,

Disk Drive Mbytes Free Usage

1 C 163 0 100%
163
2 D 51 0 100%
58

The above message format was correct when I typed it, but when I pressed submit, the fdisk information turned out to be jumbled as you can see in my above message. I will try it again..

Fdisk says, "disk 1, drive c:, mbytes 163, free 0, usage 100%

disk 2, drive d:, mbytes 51, free 0, usage 100%.

The above message means you have 2 Hard Drives.

Otherwise it would tell you Partition 1 & 2

Thanks for helping me on this. I just got this used 386 & dont know much about it. It just has dos 6.22. Any Ideas on what other OS I can install on drive D that will work on a 386 for experimental purposes?
