My intent is to format a P166 for use as a DOS computer.
It had W95, a prior uninstall of Norton AV caused error screens so I
had to
format.

When I tried a W95 boot disk, format, got error: insufficient memory
to load system files.

I then ran Bing, it did format, I rebooted with the W95 boot disk, at
A:, entered C:, no C:.

Ran Bing again, named the drive C, but see legend that the drive is
not available to anything as it has Bing installed on it.

Then rebooted with W95 boot disk, message: can't find Bing, assume it
wants
the Bing boot disk.

I need to wind up with a C drive for DOS, and have created something
else.

Advice?

Read replies to date. My memory is hazy, but here goes. Believe
win95 and version A don't understand FAT32. Version B and C do. (If
I remember correctly).


Bing formatted, so W95 is gone.
Your comment explains why in Bing it reported one partition as FAT-16.
But I hope to start over, Fdisk, format

A "dos computer" could mean any version of msdos. That, in itself,
may be problem concerning a FAT32 partition. Depending of course of
the version of msdos you're talking about. (You left that out,
hmmmm). Guess its the same old story/different day, eh?

That's later, after the above, it will be DOS 6.22 for old DOS games.
