[Freedos-user] formatting FAT32 hard disk partitions

[Kurt Albershardt]

Booted from the beta9rc5 disk image, trying to format a hard drive using FAT32.  fdisk has no problems deleting old linux and NT partitions and creating a new single partition spanning the entire 40 gB drive, but format seems rather broken--it just hangs at zero percent when doing a 'format c: /u'

Also wondering if there's a way to set the allocation unit size since /z: is apparently not supported.  What's the default size?

The goal here is to create a freely-distributable boot floppy image than can format a large drive with FAT32.  Is there a better tool for the task?



--thanks!
