How to format HD > 8GB?

Hello,
I have a 17GB external hard drive. I have been low-level formatting it
with the SCSI utility interface upon boot-up (<CTRL>-<A>). It states it
as size 17501 MB which is OK.

Now I use FDISK with Windows 98, say to create Primary DOS partition and
use maximum available space, but it only sees 8025MB as total space.
How do I format it to 17GB?

I bought it used and it was formerly formatted to 17 GB and my system was
seeing it OK. I just wanted to make a clean fresh format. There was a
full 17GB partition, so I'd like to format it the same way.

Thanks.for any help.

You either have an old SCSI adapter without Int13 extensions, or they are not
enabled.
