you guys are great
1. can dr dos 7.03 see more than 64 of ram on fast compaq. i receive error
from the himem section of emm386 that says Warning: Line A20 is already
enabled. then it lists my frame location (i need to use expanded mem.)
I briefly tried running himem.sys from a win 98 cd, but could not seem to
get that to help.

2. are there problems with fdisk. i use a set of 5 disks to clean off win98
by booting to the disk and running fdisk. but it just hangs after i type in
a volume name, and i am not even asking for the hd to be "verified"

i wind up booting to ms dos 6.2, using bill's fdisk. THEN booting to 7.03
and running install.

thanks
rich wilson
