If so there may be a hidden "recovery/diagnostics" partition that is confusing fdisk. Do you have anything like OnTrack Disk Manager installed to get round disk size limitations in the BIOS? Unlikely with a machine that runs W2K, but I do know someone that installed in on a P-III machine when he built it, using an old 6.5Gbyte disk, "because it came with the disk"? Since you have 2 Windows partitions, you haven't installed any form of multi-OS boot manager have you? You wouldn't need it with W2K but you may have had if you had 2 different versions of Win9x on there once over? Can you post the whole output of `fdisk ad0', it may just give someone a clue? > and both freebsd show 165. > Which is correct.
