Then you are not deleting it correctly. Computers are like kids--gotta tell them every little thing. When deleting, read everything slowly and supply the right answer. When asked what partition, answer 1.
"Hopefully" that's the only one showing https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
UNDID and REDID and looked at display in between. No partition.

Just curious. What's supposed to happen if I choose NO to the FAT 32? Just what is happening? Or something different?
Fat 16 and 2GB harddisk limit

We may just have to load that onto a FAT16 (yech) and convert it later in Windows---I'm thinking....NAAAAAAAH...forget that....
Beginning to think that boot disk ain't all it's supposed to be. This shouldn't be this hard....

So either way it should say something besides UNKNOWN ?
Should I try NO this time and see ?
I have been in there enough now that I have it memorized. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ I know I'm doing it correctly. Something has to be wrong.
At least the floppy drive works now. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Try this (can't hurt): Go back into fdisk, delete that partition (slowly)---go back out then return--check to make sure the partition has been deleted --should tell you it doesn't exist. Then power down completely.
Power back up, go into fdisk and step-by-step do the partitioning again. Be SURE to answer YES to "enable large disk support" and YES to Maximum size. You are only going into choice #1 when creating a partition, I hope? Forget choice 2. To check whether the DOS partition has been deleted, choose #4.
I'm preparing a Startup floppy that I KNOW works....

Agreed, greengoose1. I checked the fdisk/format directions triple with some other sites just to be sure--they are correct. Wondering if the disk issn't cracked up. QOH: If it doesn't work this time, this is what i want you to do:
At the A: prompt, type: dir<space>/p
This will bring up all the files that are supposed to be on that disk---check to make sure they are all there. When you reach the end of the list that's showing on the screen--hit ENTER and it will show a few more. Here is everything--are there any missing?Aspi2dos.sys
