My 3 gig 1996 hard drive has been partitioned (a LONG time ago) and worked fine until recently.
The first partition still works, its in FAT16 format, the second partition appears in FDISK, but has no format what so ever. I don't really want to delete the partition with no format.
The last time the second partition (the one that has no format now) worked, was before I upgraded DOS to version 6.22 (it was stuck at a VERY makeshift version of 4.01 )and I am supposing this was the cause, but how do I fix it?
Also, after upgrading, I had problems. So I formatted drive C:\ (only the FAT16 drive, not the second partition) so I could do a fresh install, and then I installed DOS 6.22, and drive D:\ was no longer present.
I cant see D:\ in Windows 3.1, or DOS 6.22.
(C:\ is the FAT16 drive partition that was reformatted;
D:\ was the drive that was probably once FAT16, but lost its FAT16 format, this D: is the actual DOS Extended drive)
OS: Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS Version 6.22; 90MHz processor, and somewhere around 19MB RAM, with 3 GB hard drive... (its a Gateway laptop) it only has a few minor, detected, bad clusters... Scandisk was run recently
(BTW: I believe that this qualifies for more than one category, and that's why its here in the "Others" section... its kind of a mix of Microsoft Windows, DOS, and Hardware... so I put it here)
