I installed a new harddrive today in my computer, and I need to use the fdisk command to partition it and the format command to format it and whatnot. Therefore I created an ms-dos start-up disk, but when I try to boot from it (the A: drive) I get the following error:

Disk I/O Error
Replace Disk & Press Any Key

I tried replacing the disk and pressing any key..but of course that does nothing except give me the same error again. So what is the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I am in dire need of the additional HDD space.


So does anyone know how to fix this?


Format.



Yep, the only way to successfully partition a disk is to format it prior to the partitioning, otherwise it'll give an error. I reccomend NTFS.

And the arcade will be installed sometime reasonably soon.

Use your Windows CD to format instead of a boot disk.

Ummm.... well I am getting a new camera at the end of February, we have some decent stuff already, but we need more. It'll be a while yet, the Hunt 4 may be before a mixup.

I presumed he meant a slave drive? If so, yeah use your Windows CD. Floppies are useless.

This is for everyone in general. How many alcohol based drinks does it take for you to get drunk? Like pint/bottle wise.

Random question but just wanna see who is a lightweight.

4 pints to get drunk, 7 to get wasted

What would you prefer to do, get some shit hot hot footage, but not have fun, or get loads of mediocre footage and have fun?
