I'm looking for code to format a floppy drive. I've been trying some code with int 13, but it hasn't been working. Even if I format only part of the disk after the DOS format it still doesn't work. Once I reformat with DOS the disk is fine. The DOS error I get is sector not found. If you have any code or ideas send them along. __________________________________________________________________________ > Paul Dowling - Systems Manager <|> < > dowling@ncifcrf.gov <|> "Nothing is either good or bad, < > "Do you have a Cray Y-MP 8 on <|> but thinking of it makes it so." < > YOUR desk?" <|> - Shakespeare < >__________________________________V_____________________________________<
