I didn't see any responses to my query about several of my hard drives not
being recognised in DOS - maybe nobody has come across this particular
problem before?
Anyway, I did get a little further with this. When re-formatting one of the
drives with Fdisk, I found that the drive (or rather, partition) was being
designated as 'NON-DOS', a label I've not seen before.
I haven't a clue as to how this happened - I'd formatted it with Fdisk only
a few days previously, and thought it had proceeded normally. But obviously
not.
Now, when I Fdisk check the other drive which is invisible in DOS, I see
that it's labelled the same, Non-Dos, so I guess that explains it.
My query: Does anyone know how to change this arrangement without
reformatting the drive?
