Reply: (edit)Boot from floppy (with DOS or Win9x bootdisk) and use fdisk-command to delete the non-dos partition. Then create the dos-partitions you want, set the primary active, boot again from floppy and format the partitions. Mickey

Reply: (edit)But be aware that Fdisk only deletes Primary NTFS partitions(s)... will NOT delete Extended NTFS areas. To delete Extended NTFS areas, either do so via NT set-up\create/delete partitions option; or use delpart.exe as suggested above. Another delpart.exe source: http://hercules.lss.ksu.edu/download/MSSTUFF/index.htm (parent site: http://hercules.lss.ksu.edu) delpart.exe = freebie 27K download Will delete just about any partitoin - permanently...

Reply: (edit)I tried delpart.exe & part.zip to remove this partition to no avail. Each either gives me an error message or locks up. I booted up using win98 boot disk because this is the only way I can get my system to find my "C" drive (2.1gb SCSI drive)
