Hi, This is just to report how things evolved with regard to disk partitioning and formatting.
I certainly learned how to do it. Thanks again to several list members who helped! However, the story did not end there. Disks would not work as expected, and corrupted files kept appearing. After formatting half a dozen disks 2-3 times each, in 3 different computers, I suspected someting else was wrong. So I took the disks to a computer technician for a virus scan and, sure enough, they all were infected by "W32/Hybris.worm.B". The computer is working well now. However, to be extra safe, I also ran F-prot, and although my copy is from 2005, in one disk it reported something that the technician's antivirus had missed: Master Boot Sector: "Bleah.D". Of course I'll repartition and reformat that disk. In 12 years of MS-DOS plus 3 years of FreeDOS, this is the first time I had a virus -:( I'll use FDSHIELD for some time. Also, I downloaded CLAMAV, but have not been able to run it yet. In case anyone has other security recommendations, they will be very welcome.
