I am trying to re-format my 9 gigabyte Micropolis AV SCSI hard drive with Windows 95 VFAT.
The hard drive was a nightmare when it was originally partitioned with DOS FAT and Win NT's NTFS.
Windows 95 seems to recognize drive space over 4 gigabytes but FDISK won't read above 4 gigs. 
Am I missing something here? Is there also a way to get past the 8 gigbyte limitation of Win 95's 
VFAT?
