Fdisk

[trekiej]

Hello.
I am working on a 286.
I boot it with MSDos 6.22 in drive A:, which is a 1.44 MB drive.
I set the CHS of the drive and then reboot to A:\
I fdisk the hdd and use fdisk to partition it and reboot again.
When I go to format it, it acts as though it does not exist.
I tried diff. ps, controller card, and hdd , etc.
I also pulled the board and used a diff. ps.
The drive works in a 486.
size: 0 < X < 125 MB
Thanks.

When I do a format c: /s /u it gives me an "invalid drive specification".
When I do an fdisk again, it acts as though I have not fdisked it.
I have used a new boot disk.

It is fine on a 486.

We put the board to the side for now.
Using the 486 crossed my mind but was pressed for time.
Thanks.
Also is there a 16 bit isa card that can tell me what Interrupts are being used.
I do not have the docs. for these cards and I do not have immediate access to the Internet.

Fdisk asks if you want to use the full amount and make active.
You will have to if you do not the automatic method.
