Nothing wrong with fat32 unless you're really thinking BIG..

I've noticed a difference in command line parsing between FreeDOS and PC-DOS.
Both FreeDOS and PC-DOS put the command line, starting with the character
after the executable, in a buffer at offset 0x80 in the PSP.

I too have always used xp on fat! As for ide to sata adapter, the sata
machine is too cramped to fit it. As for "wipe", is that a dos app? Are you

Do you have a floppy drive? If you do then make a dos bootable floppy.
Find wipe on the web and download it.
Run wipe to clean the drive of everything. Your floppy should also have

You could try using a SATA to IDE adapter in your other machine. That
would probably provide the low-level access to the partition table the
software needs.
Do you know why the old IDE machine is non-functional? If you have the
time to troubleshoot the problem it might be something cheap and easy
Have an old 80 gig hard drive with an HPA(host protected access) partition,
which is wasting space; tried to use linux function 'hdparm'
on it using an ide/usb adapter, but recieved message "bad or missing sense
