Should I FDISK, FORMAT and then throw XP at it?


You should be able to create large partitions with a Win98SE start up disk and FDISK - if you created the partitions with DOS 6.22 then rip them off and do it again with the W98 disk.

If you're going to put XP on you can create the first partition during the install process under XP.


It is all sorted now, thanks to all the advice I have been given.

Installed win 98, took the option to make a new win 98 start-up disk. Fdisked the drive and used xp CD to format it.

It's been a long time since I have done this, plus getting old, has made things a little hazy in my mind.

Regards to all and have a merry Christmas, instead of a happy holidays.
