A couple months ago I helped a friend install a new hard disk in an
original IBM PC (with plenty of help from the net).  We ran into a
minor problem then, but it's come up again.  So I ask for more help...

DOS sees the hard disk as the D: drive.  This is really odd, since
when FDISK runs it correctly identifies the disk as C: (so do some
other diagnostic problems that we ran).  Any ideas what's happening
to us here?

One more thing, when we run FORMAT on the new disk (it insists on
calling it D: too) we get the error "Invalid data in partition table".
