I sloppily used "setup/configure" instead of "format utility" in a rush. Now after reading and realizing that I really only answered her question about what the code was, a better answer to the question is: back up the 10 meg drive onto floppies, pull it out of the xt, put it in the 286, run the bios format command on the 10 meg drive and dump the floppies back on. I would go this route instead of trying to install the drive to a different controller with out backing up. Thanks for pointing out that milan...... I would'nt want to have been accountable for the someone losing all their data.............
