- here's what I want to do:
-
- take a disk formatted for the mac and stick it in an ibm. Then reformat
- it for the ibm at 720k. How do I do this??
-
- I tried everything on my 486: format b: /u /f:720 (nice syntax huh?)
- I tried just about every format switch and nothing would work because there
- was some error on track 0.
-
- HELP
