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.
