I just purchased DR DOS 5.0 and installed it on my hard disk.
I would like to redo my 80MB hard disk into a single partition.
I have Disk Manager 4.0 and it will only allow bootable partitions
of 32MB or less. Is there a newer version that will let me do
an 80MB bootable partition? What other "disk manager" type
programs are out there? Which is best? Thanks

Thanks DR DOS 5.0 has indigenous support for large (>32M) disk partitions. You'll need to start with the DR DOS fdisk utility to remove any existing partitions (backup first) and create a single bootable 80M partition which you can then format. You will no longer need Disk Manager. -- John Tevik jtevik@gisplot1.nrri.umn.edu (128.101.45.101) Programmer (218)720-4247 (voice) University of Minnesota, Duluth Natural Resources Research Institute
