I need a bootable floppy to Erase&Format 120GB drives
What I'm asking here is for a generic formating utility that is FREE,
and will fit a floppy disk. I have lot's of W9x Boot disk, but W9x don't see HD's bigger then 60 GB, and my WMe disk's can't use Fdisk utility. Thx

Erasing is easy; why do you need to be able to format too? If you are putting the drive into a computer with Windows already on it, you can format from within Windows using Disk Manager; if using this for a new Windows XP install, you can partition during the install.

Let me "clear" things up a bit !
What I need is a bootable CD, or Floppy disk that will erase, create, partitions, and format any and all HD's, bigger than let's say 50, and up to 180 GB drives, just like W9X boot disk (fdisk utility) but that will do the job from dos. What I'm trying to say this have to be used from a dos setup only. |

Win98 FDISK can do it just fine, it's just that drives larger than 64gb have a displayed size discrepancy, you can work around it by using percentages instead of megabytes.
However, I think you will find what you want, along with a lot of other things, on the Ultimate Boot CD. |
