Still missing 8 GB of hard disk

I posted a message earlier regarding a problem I have with the drive capacity of my hard disk. It displays only 2 GB on the C: drive properties. However using FDisk it shows 10 GB. Using FDisk I deleted the partition and re-formatted the disk to FAT32, and the total drive space was 10 GB. But when I installed Windows 98 it still says I have 2 GB even though FDisk shows 10 GB. Any suggestions?

Hi y'all,
Did you set the C: active? In fdisk...Do you have one partition, or more? And did you set the C: drive on auto in your bios?
Peace

I have a Duron 1.1 / 128 /10 GB manufactured by Wintergreen. I don't know the model number of the hard drive but the Motherboard is a M810 series. C: is set to active, I have only 1 partition and I tried setting C: to auto and user but neither works. Any new ideas?
