format the drive and run a 32bit or 64 bit operating system like Unix or Linux.

Tony,
Why do you feel you must respond with a crappy message like that? How does that help him? Geeesh.
Paul,
I assume you are already connected to a network. From DOS type NET USE X: //computername/foldername Where x is the drive you want to map to, Computername is the name of the computer on the network, and foldername is the name of the shared folder (C$ will work for drive C). If you are using Novell Netware as your network software, you must use the MAP command. I am not quite familiar with it but do a map /? to get command arguments.
Hope this helps, Michael

I would like to know how to connect a DOS machine to a network without using netware (if possible) and then I believe the mapping would come in handy, that's exactly what we are trying to do, but we don't have any great solutions yet. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!
