How format hard drive from linux > to fat ??? Yup, the Xserver does not yet support the Trio3D chipset, except in normal VGA mode (which sucks!!) You should be able to boot from a DOS (or Windoze 95/98) boot disk and run fdisk. Delete the non-dos (linux) partitions and create a primary partition. Reboot and use the format command to format your new partition (C Drive). Whala. Now you can install DOS/Windows/whatever... Greg.
