Hi. If anyone's to blame, it's most probably me, since I actually wrote the damn thing! :)
Um, are you *sure* it says "Error 0x2000" ? I can't actually find that in my source code ... I've also (ahem) lost the docs for samdsk and also for the C libraries that I use ... If anyone uses DJGPP could they tell me what the error code from the _bios_disk function is ... and what a return value of either (0x20**) or (0x2000**) means ... ! But yep, I'd say that running it from a genuine DOS prompt should be more successful than running it in a DOS shell under Windows. What SAM Format proggy?
