Hello Paxton,
He'll need to use FDISK if he wants to remove the existing partitions and
then recreate a single partition WITHOUT low level formatting.
If he low level formats instead, it will take the partitions out. Low level
formatting
takes everything out.
Here's a tip for you though. I have had instances where DOS's FDISK wouldn't
remove a partition. I don't exactly remember all the details because it's been
a while, but it was because the partition had a name that might have included
a character that wouldn't display so I didn't know what it was, or it was some
unusual Non-DOS partition. I've found the partitioning utility that came with
OS2 Warp to be useful when FDISK sometimes wouldn't work.
Best Regards

There is another command to run. To get rid of the

to use FDISK.
Once you get rid of the three partitions and reformat it as a single
partition you should be OK.
I would use DOS 6.22, because that is what I have.
