Hello, Mick. Glad to meet you. -=> on 03-01-05 16:52, MICK LAZIC wrote to JIM HOLSONBACK <=- JH> The file FDISK.EXE does not exist on either of these CDROM discs.

The floppy does not have ML> 'Format.com' :) Always seemed kinda dumb to me that the M$ startup diskette and ERD's have FDISK, but not FORMAT, since I always format right after using fdisk to rework partition(s). I _much_ prefer to do it myself to trusting some M$ CDROM disc to do things for me automagically. Esp if I will be doing HDD troubleshooting, I usually also add MORE, so I can read long directories and readme files without them scrolling off the screen. SYS, so I can make a hdd which has just been Fdisked and Formatted bootable. Even back to MFM times, IME, there is always a nice feeling when a HDD which had seemed dead is fixed and reboots. [;-D. EDIT, so I can modify files like Autoexec.bat and config.sys if I want to. XCOPY can also come in handy. ttyl - - - - JimH. ...
