Reformatting a DOS formatted drive
I have two spare hard drives, a 9GB and a 32GB. They were formatted with DOS 6.2 so that when you try to address them, they both show only about 1.9GB on each drive. I tried to reformat them under XP but still only got the 1.9GB area. Does anyone know how to reformat these drives to there original size?

Re: Reformatting a DOS formatted drive
Do a google for killdisk, free download, or boot and nuke.
Ive used killdisk, works well, never rely on xp's format utility, it works poorly, I never use it.
