Maybe this will help. I've done this with floppies. Should work with
hard drives also.
>From a terminal window type:
mkfs -tmdos /dev/hdx <-- your hard drive to format.
You should already have msdos filesystem compiled into your kernel and I
believe mkfs is in the /sbin directory.
Give it a shot. Works on my floppies :D

I plan to remove a harddrive from my linux box and move it
to an old Win95 box.
I understand that I need to
a: run fdisk [ inlinux] and change format to DOS.
b: I need to reformat the disk [ using Linux ]
BUT... I don't know what command to use.
c: after moving to the DOS/ Win95 box I need to
fdisk it [using MS DOS] and reformat it in MS DOS.
Can anyone tell me the command to use to
format the hard drive for MS DOS [ using Linux] ?
Thanks in advance.
Johnny
