Greetings: I got some problems with my computer for some time, I am stationed (military) in the middle east and we often loose power, I suspect this damaged the startup files in Win95 because I often would have to restart my system a couple times before it would complete set up (I tried reinstalling windows with no fix of the problem) After a lot of fiddling I ended up with a more damaged system than I began with. Having all the program disks for my system I made the decision to reformat the hard drive. What I have forgotten is the DOS commands to reestablish the partioning and so forth. I have a 4.2 GB fixed drive and have tried going through "FDISK" to get it to recognize the large drive using FAT32 but have had zero luck. What do I need to do to get the system to recognize this drive without having to divide up the disk to 3 drives. I know the system is FAT32 capable because before my problems, the drive was recognized as a single large drive. Thanks any assistance you can give will be great, over here the internet is my only connection to any assistance. Brian Almquist
