The DR-DOS FDISK obviously does not contain any Microsoft copyright strings... ;-) In general, please have a look at the PATH setting in your environment, maybe it just points to the MSDOS directory. Try to run the DR-DOS FDISK by giving the full path to the files. > C:\TEMP>debug > -nfdisk.exe > -l If you load it this way, DEBUG will load either FDISK.EXE in the directory C:\TEMP\, or if there is no such file, it will check APPEND settings to search for the file somewhere else. PATH does not have any effect here. In this case, remove APPEND from your configuration, or change its settings not to use this auto-search-in-other-dir feature.
