Did you partition your drives? If the answer is yes, you'll have to: 1. Boot from floppy. 2. Use MS DOG's fdisk to erase all partitions. 3. Repartition as you wish. 4. Use MS DOG's format to format the drives. Probably use the /S flag on the first bootable (usually, C:) partition. If you are going to leave the drives partitioned as they are, just reformat them with MS DOG's format (that is, skip steps 2 and 3). Note: Make sure you have everything you need on that bootable MS DOG floppy: 1. System (IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS, whatnot) 2. fdisk 3. format 4. a text editor 5. drivers fro your hardware (CD-ROM?) 6. anything you deem necessary Then, install MS DOG or Winblows 95.
