Moving this to the correct forum...
I recently picked up a a pc for refurb and I'm trying to install DOS 6.22 but I've hit a brick wall with the HDD which through investigation I can see is FAT32. The BIOS is able to pick up the HDD and assign it to the C: (i can choose LBA, normal, large). So far I've tried the following:
1. fdisk - "error reading fixed disk"...presumably because it's FAT32
2. scandisk on c: - "cannot examine c:"...again presumably because it's FAT32
3. Tried to partition it using Part240, but I get an error with the MBR.
4. Tried to delete and write a new MBR with TestDisk utility, but again MBR issue.
I don't have any other OS' available to test unfortunately. I did check the BIOS for any virus/protection selections enabled, but nothing enabled on that front. Does anyone have a recommendation? Do I need to zero out the HDD and then try to format it?
