Hard Drive Partioning Problem

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.
