    Havent used it in years but if its a non primary drive select option

    (main menu create - then I thin kits option 2)

    for create extended.

    Once extended is created then create logical in the extended - when complete format the logical in the extended. Restart and that should do it. I cant remember what the partition size upper limit of fat32 is - you might want to look into that.

    If you are getting "bad command or file name" then the reason is simple, you do not have fdisk.exe.
    Where are you getting your MSDOS from? Are you using a boot disk? Make sure fdisk.exe is on the boot disk.
