When I run FDISK to creat a primary DOS partition, first I get a notice saying;
"Your computer has a disk larger than 512MB. This version of Windows includes improved support for large disks, resulting in more efficient use of disk space. BUT! It also tells me if I enable large disk support I wont be able to access the new drives using other operating systems. It ask;
"Do you wish to enable large disk support(Y/N).............? I have typed Y and N.
Either way I end up with "Verifying drive integrity 0%"
It wont move. What am I doing wrong?

What type of equipment do you have and what is your Operating System your trying to install? Try going into your BIOS hit del on startup and diable the virus in the Bios.Did you delete the previous partition or is it a new drive?

Thank you for your reply. I fixed that problem. I am loading win95 as I am typing this. This is the best way to get info.
