There is currently no OS on the drive due to there being no portition. I got the hardrive from my school and replaced an OLD 1GB hardrive which was having the same problem. It is the only drive in the computer. The bios sees it fine.Have you looked at the jumpers ? ?
Some older drives had size limiting jumpers on them...
If not that is a really old version of FDisk.
DLoad a WinME bootdisk from bootdisk.com and use it to create a floppy.
Then have at it.
