I'm trying to format a hard drive on a friend's laptop and I keep getting the incorrect msdos version message.

To give you some background:

The laptop had Win2000 on it, but he wants to re-install Windows ME on it (mainly because he has the Win ME CD). So I did the following:

>Deleted the NTFS partition using delpart.exe

>Used AEFDISK and established a FAT32 primary aprtition.

Now I want to format the hard drive, but I keep getting the "version" error message. I could sure use some help. I've looked through several things in the Microsoft Knowledge bas, but nothing was helpful.

Thanks!
