First of all MS-DOS 6.22 and below do not support Fat 32 File system.
Boot up your computer from the Dos installation floppy disk. Press F3 to exit the setup. It should take you to a command prompt. Type fdisk and press enter. Create a primary DOS partition of any size that you want (nothing over 2Gb is supported.) Restart the computer and boot up to the DOS setup screen. It will ask to format the drive after you select where you want it installed. -Steve -------------------- Caution: Linux Enthusiast has posted, please be aware that he might start talking about the home folder or ndiswrapper, these are natural and just ignore them.
