According to Fritz Mueller, this is error 61, which means
that truename (int 21, ax=0x6000) returns carry flag set
for truename("X:\") with X being the target drive letter.
You can see verbose FORMAT error status with FORMAT /D :-)
He also reports the following problem: Take some real or
virtual harddisk and create an 1500 MB extended partition.
Now create one 800 MB and one 700 MB logical partition in
that. FDISK tells that you still have 4 MB left. If you
allow it to create a partition there, too, it suddenly
tells you that only the 800 MB and 4 MB partitions exist.
When you restart FDISK later (I haven not asked whether
he rebooted betwen both runs) it does show all 3 logical
partitions, but it remains a bit odd that 800+700+4=1500.
