partitioning CF

[Guest]

Hello,

I'm booting my target system to an MS-DOS USB floppy. When I try to run
fdisk from the A: prompt to partition the CF, I get a message indicating that
fdisk is for the wrong MS-DOS version.

This is an fdisk I downloaded off the web. According to the docs the XPe
development system disk 3 should have a current fdisk but I can't find it in
the eval version I downloaded.

Where can I get a current fdisk? Can I somehow use Partition Magic given
that I just have a floppy on the target system?

Also when I try to start the format utility (copied to the floppy from Win
XP), I get a message saying that format can't be run from DOS. How do I
format once I get the partioning done?

Thanks,

Art

You can get the correct MS-DOS files from here: http://www.bootdisk.com/
or from the CD files for the XPEA Book: http://www.sjjmicro.com/XPEA.html
