There seems to be no native DOS in XP. tapping f8 at startup brings up only
"windows advanced menu". Nothing obviously useful there.
XP startup disk yields for fdisk: "incorrect dos version". For format:
"this program cannot be run in DOS"
The format facility in xp windows, maintenance, shows that of course the
system disk cannot be formated.
I mean, I need a new hard disk. MS requires 1.5 GB, so surely my present 3
GB would be ample. HA. big laugh. So, how can I prepare the new disk, when
I get it, for installation?
The win 98 startup diskette I still have contains format and fdisk, but will
they work.
I appreciate very much the responsiveness and expertise of this group.
