I have an IBM PS/1 that I messed up the 4.0 ver by trying to upgrade b/4 I
realized there was a partitioned D drive. Now, I'm stuck 'cause I can't
use FDISK because the command is not there.
When the p/c is turned on, the IBM DOS Version 4.00 comes up, so I'm
assumming the only way I can fix this is to re-load the program..only I
can't find them.
I did all this before I was smart enough to go to school and learn
something before delete files!!
Do you still have the 4.0 disk for sale?
Thanks,

FDISK v4 for PS/1 ( Beth Dorman )
My guess is that any FDISK on any DOS ( v3 or higher )
will do for this. My current Windows computer has fdisk,
for example. Many, many others on the list know more,
but I think you can Format ( with 'Copy System Files' ) a
floppy, and put fdisk on it with a New computer and be OK.

And SETVER wasn't available until V5.00
If they boot from floppy with the version of DOS that the FDISK came from,
then they can get around that.
In addition, FDISK with versions of DOS before 3.31 can't do partitions
larger than 32M.
(Zenith apparently MARKETED their version of 3.31 under the NAME 3.3PLUS)

I could make copies of mine for you, if you would like. I would have no
problem doing it for the cost of shipping.
Peace... Sridhar
