Howdy all.
Here is the problem I ran into tonight. A friend of mine has an old P-Pro 180 with a WD 8 gig hdd. He was working/doing his thing and he restarted the computer. After post it just sits there and does nothing.
I tried a 98 bootdisk, and it says the HDD isn't formatted for windows, not fat/fat 32. In FDISK it sees the partition but reads it as non-dos.
Is there any way to get it back to fat 32 without repartitioning it? And is there any way to prevent this nonsense from happening in the future.
