I'm looking for a product that will format and partition
my 40Mb (formated) hard drive on my IBM AT clone.  I
need it to mark all partitions as MS-DOS partitions.

A product called SPEEDSTOR(*) does this (my 3.2 MS-DOS
format and fdisk will not), but I'm not sure I want to pay
$100.00 just to do this.  Are there any cheaper products
that will help me?  Does anyone know whether the other
capabilities of SPEEDSTOR make it worth the money?

Thanks
