Agreed!

Something screwed up...

It works fine on the dos box, but not on a floppy on the XPP box. Aefdisk is
much better, IMHO, I wanted gdisk.exe wipe util.

Big difference in both partitioning tools. Try aefdisk.exe if you need
partitioning tool.


gdisk.exe-

I'm the Sysop of the Gypsy BBS, I started my board in 1988. It's quite a bit
slower these days but still a /GREAT/ hobby.
