Richard,

Excellent. I followed most of it but there is one DOS command that got me. In the command SET DIRCMD = /OGN what are DIRCMD and OGN?

For those of you who have a zip drive Norton's zip rescue has saved my bacon twice already in the last year. One time my college educated son, in computer science, came home and corrupted the FAT. I let him sweat with it for 2 days before I gave him the zip rescue. A couple of weeks ago I was installing 98 and the power blipped during the install. The hard drive crashed but zip to the rescue. After that I bought a UPS.

Thanks for the excellent work Richard.

Scott

Thanks for the post. I found it VERY helpful. I have a question. Is it possible to have one partition FAT 16 and another FAT 32 on the same drive? I'm getting a new machine next week with Win98 but I have a decade of work in DOS that I can't live without. Appreciate any hints, PW.

Thanks again for this gem. I was able to follow it with minimal vulgarities through my quest to reformat my C drive. Up and running now and working on driver installations.
