Dear Jun,
That's a fair question. I should have noted that in my original message.
Yes, that was what I tried first. It still tells me that the drive cannot
be formatted. Which I've proved to be untrue by using fdisk and format from
a Win98 boot disk.
Another thing I tried was the Win2k startup disks from the nospin site, and
still hung up at the formatting stage.
