When I bought my latest hard drive used it had much ms-dos stuff on it.
So I wanted to look at it. MSDOS Tools did NOT work on it. Now it may
not be MSDOS Tools fault. Because of the drive's size (520 meg.) I
suspect it may have a strange use of sectoring on it thus tricking MSDOS
Tools. It would report being unable to find the partition table, or
something to that effect. If I tried to partition it with MSDOS Tools it
would tell me there were already partitions on it. <grrr!> Oh well,
just one man's expirence.
