HELP!!! 1) Check FDISK again. Make sure there is one large Primary DOS partition on the disk. 2) Reboot using a DOS floppy with format, etc. on it. Then run "format c:" -- it should start up. If you want to get rid of the boot manager (if you installed it) then run: fdisk /mbr That will reset the mbr back to the default.
