What is the partition type - FAT32 LBA (a.k.a. FAT32X), or FAT32 CHS
(a.k.a. FAT32)? My successful tests were with FAT32 LBA partitions.
I didn't try FAT32 CHS.

Hi Lucho,
Well... no kernel is perfect. Perhaps the problem is some of the Arkady's
optimisations in DSK.C?!
For another WESTERN DIGITAL 800MB hard disk, even kernel 2035/format
0.91r failed, only Win98 boot disk can format.
Try more combination
BIOS setting is CHS (translation), FDISK shows FAT32 (not FAT32 L).
So, FAT32 LBA works but we have a problem with FAT32 CHS. Unfrtunately
I can't test this here.
The hard disk parameter is auto-detected by BIOS, I've no way to change
it (16xx cylinder). I've tried:
1) FreeDOS FDISK (delete and

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

Hi Lucho,
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
I think you help Arkady compile that
Strange is when I do a FDISK delete partition, make a new FAT32
partition and format will report 'consecutive bad sector' error, I have
to boot Win98 (with F5) to format.
