Can anyone advise me on how I can get my AT compatible
to format a 1.44 MB disk? Note the following on how I
set up my config.sys and the results that I got. It seems
like the AT is following the CMOS setup. Someone told me
that DOS 3.3 which I am using should over-ride the AT set-up.
The IBM diagnostic disk that I have allows for only a 1.2 MB,
720K, and a 360K drive. It appears either I must find a way
to change the setup or maybe I need an updated bios. The
bios on my AT is an Award bios V2.09. Please help.
Thanks in advance
