zapmaster Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) Toshiba laptop I am replacing the broken 20 gig with a 120 gig hard drive. The CD rom in the laptop doesn't work so I am using a 4 gig flash drive.I copied the whole 98se CD to the flash drive in hopes that the install would see the partition and format and install it to the D: drive. I was wrong it installed everything to the c: drive (flash drive).Now I have a working win98 on the flash drive.I am able to write to the d: drive and copy stuff to it. It's been awhile since I have partition and formatted.. Stupid question is.... after fdisk I reboot format /s how do I remove the active drive 1 (flashdrive) partition so drive 2 can take over?I have tried just deleting the partition on the flash drive and leaving d: alone and rebooting with invalided partition Table to come back.I can view the D drive in windows tooZap Edited January 18, 2008 by zapmaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 The MS FDISK does NOT allow to set Active Second hard disk, you can however use the FreeDOS FDISK.See some detail in this (seemingly unrelated) thread:http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=16713jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
