Put a partition on the disk, then rebooyt, format it, and you're in business.< There is a FAT partition on the hard disk! It is (by now) the third partition on the HDD, the first and second are NFTS formatted, the fourth is NTFS, too. Are you saying that DOS will only recognize a FAT partition if it is the first on the hard disk? Barbara
