Hard Drive format/partition questions.

I have a NEC Ready 9701 System. My stock 2gb Hard Drive finally died. I ordered a 
6gb Hard Drive off E-bay. The NEC BIOS seems to have no trouble detecting the extra 
4gbs when I installed this baby. 

However, when I used the NEC System Restore disk that came with my system, I think 
it flashed something about finding a Non-Dos partition. And then it didn't use the 
whole 6gb in one partition. Instead creating  two 2gb partitions on the same drive. 
Large disk support is usually enabled by the System Restore CD by default.

I was just wondering if anyone has any good ideas what I should do. Should I FDisk 
it manually? Do whatever procedure I need to do to remove whatever Non-Dos partitions 
may be there? I am not sure why it won't use the whole 6gb in the primary partition. 

Anyways, thanks for any help anyone can give.
