206995 2004-01-12 16:28:00 I have a computer that I have just formatted to NTFS. The disk is empty,ie. it has no operating system installed.
I now want to format this disk to fat 32. I have tried with win 98 se and with ME. All I get is "wrong DOS version"
I tried with XP, but after it installs drivers etc. it wants to install XP.
The disk is a 40 meg and I don't want to partition it.
As I understand it there is now no size limit for fat 32.

206996 2004-01-12 17:12:00 You can use FDISK from Win 98SE and delete the non dos partition before you format. Then create new partition and format. Elephant (599)
