SYMPTOMS

When you use Fdisk.exe to partition a hard disk that is larger than 64 GB

(64 gigabytes, or 68,719,476,736 bytes) in size, Fdisk does not report the correct size of the hard disk.
The size that Fdisk reports is the full size of the hard disk minus 64 GB. For example, if the physical drive
is 70.3 GB (75,484,122,112 bytes) in size, Fdisk reports the drive as being 6.3 GB (6,764,579,840 bytes) in size.
CAUSE Fdisk uses some 16-bit values internally to calculate the size of the drive.
Some of these variables overflow when the drive size is equal to or larger than 64 GB.
