H137318 - 6577/6587 SYSTEM W/2.5GB DRIVE SHOWS 2.0GB AVAILABLE
 
 
 SYMPTOM:
 IBM PC 300 Series 6577 and 6587 systems preloaded with Windows95
 may display 2.0GB of "total disk space" with ScanDisk or CHKDSK,
 when performed on an IBM 2.5GB IDE hardfile containing only
 one partition.
 
 PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:
 A limited number of PC 300 Series 6577/6587 models KBT, 9BT,
 and LBV systems with Dates of Manufacture of 1/16/97 through
 1/29/97, were manufactured with a 2.5GB IDE hardfile, FRU
 P/N76H0961, formatted for a single 2.0GB partition.  The reason
 for the 2.0GB partition instead of a 2.5GB partition is due to
 the 2.0GB partition size limitation of the DOS operating system.
 
 The result of this partitioning will make the remaining 500MB
 of disk unavailable.
 
 The 2.5GB IDE hardfile should have contained a 2.0GB partition
 and a 500MB partition.
 
 
 FIX:
 To resolve this problem, run FDISK from Windows95 or a bootable
 DOS diskette to partition the remaining 500Mb.
