Frank, You have to modify your config.sys file to create a virtual drive via driver.sys. I've done it, it's easy, but I'm not at home so can't give it exactly. Anyway, it's something like this… device=driver.sys /D0: Look in your DOS manual for the exact format or you can wait until later on tonight, and I'll give you the exact format of the line. Once you re-boot with that added, all you have to do is access the drive as drive D: (or 1 letter higher than your highest present "real" drive), for me, that is drive E: as I have the internal drive, external 3.5, external 5.25 and VDisk (as D:). Whatever drive letter the system calls it, just do a FORMAT D: and you will be asked to insert the disk to be formatted into drive D: (which is really drive A: confusing isn't it) and have at it. Once you do this, you can also add a /SYS and it will write the system files to that drive and you CAN boot with a 720K formatted disk and then the system will recognize drive A: as a 720K drive—-it will also read and write 360K disks–it's semi-intelligent about what type of disk you have in the drive.
