You mean you somehow run DOS inside Linux and then try to format an USB stick? Then I would recommend to use a Linux tool like mkdosfs... Please let me know which DOS kernel you use - you can use VER or VER /r to see the DOS kernel version. If you do indeed run DOS inside Linux, please do also tell which software you use for that - for example QEmu, Dosemu, Bochs, Dosbox, Wine...? > C:\>format /u /s /d f: > [DEBUG] This is FORMAT 0.91p, selected drive -> F: Where did you download that version? Current version is 0.91v, so it would be good if the page where you downloaded it could update it. It is also possible that you tried to format to FAT32 under a DOS kernel without FAT32 support... > [DEBUG] DOS 7+ detected, LOCKing drive. > G.D.P.: Call to int 0x21, 0x440d 0x60, failed error 0f. > Maybe you forgot to LOCK the drive (error 5)?

Possible reasons: > Could not get drive LOCK (error 5), or the OS supports no FAT32 at all. Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
