If its not a dos drive then you cant make a format c either and the bios should see your (physikal) drive also if its not dos .try to put the drive detection to auto if it doesnt work otherwise it sounds like your drive is gone you can try to put the mandrake cd into the cdromdrive and enter the setup until you get to diskdrake the partitioning tool there you make one big fat32 partition and set it as primary then you let diskdrake save the partitiontable and reboot then you can go on with a dos floppy . cheers Florian On Wednesday 13 June 2001 08:31, you wrote: > Hi List, > > I had LM 8.0 loaded onto a smaller sized HD than the one I am using now.
