I'm pretty sure I've made plain old MS-DOS 6.xx compatible FAT-16 partitions with Win 98. I remember when I first used it's fdisk it asked me if I want to make all partitions FAT32 (not in those words though, they just said if you have a big hard disk say yes or something). If you answered yes, there's probably a way to go back and answer no. Also, you could just download the Debian rescue disk and when the CFDISK part comes up you could make your FAT-16 partition then. > -alan > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
