I try to FORMAT a Seagate hard disk with FORMAT 0.91r and got an error "bad sector", I think maybe hard disk have some physical problem. and I "zero fill" it with Disk Wizard, and later I can format.
Later I repeat this action with another PC in office and got the same error. This time even "zero fill" didn't solve the problem, then I boot Win98 boot disk and try - it works! Then I try again with Kernel 2035a (unstable), fail again ... finally switch to 2035 and work again.
What were the file systems - FAT16 or FAT32? I formatted FAT32 with FORMAT 0.91r under UNSTABLE on 2 different disks here: 40 GB and 1.2 GB, and FORMAT did a great job on both, at that very quickly
