I have an 80 gig drive that I need to format into fat 32

now I believe that there is a way I can do this without splitting the drive into smaller partitions.


help ?

Enable large disk support in BIOS?

err ?

no, the drive is for a media device. Its a laptop harddrive, no bios.


apparently theres a util that will do this.

Enable large disc support in the computer's bios and format it to FAT32 then install it into media device.

Otherwise boot of a Win98 boot disc and format from there?

option 2 didnt work

Bugger!

Have you tried using partition magic on the drive?

dont have it

Haven't used it before but what about this?

Let us know if you come right bud.

I'll scratch around at home and see if i have anything that could help you.

If all else fails, you could bring the drive over to my place and stick it into my Win98 box?

Hehe, always an option.

Acronis is tha bizness

Did you come right bud?

no not yet, the drive is at work, i am on leave

Ah ok, my Win98 machine is always an option if you need it bud

I'll keep it in mind ;-)
