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.

What happens if you prep the drive on the 486...can your 286 read it?
