We have an older computer we are trying to get up and running. I am not sure what speed this compter is at. We have a '95 and '98 startup disk, which works fine until it gets to a certain point then it tells us that the disk drive needs to be partitiioned. When i run the fdisk we get an error, and I don't have the exact error right now, but I believe the error is run-time 6003, then something about divide by 0. If you can determine anything from that I would appreciate it, or any help or tricks in trying to get the disk partitioned would help.
Thanks

Have you tried using this boot disk on another computer? If not, go ahead and do that and try to run fdisk. Remember - you can run fdisk, and even view exiting partition information, without messing anything up. Just don't go choosing those "delete" or "create" options on the good computer you're trying the disk out on.

Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.
