am running system commander 7, on an athlon system,
and have dos 6.2/win3.1 // fat 32 win98 // win xp {ntfs} all
installed on the same harddrive, each in its own partition
can a single dban disk be made to wiped the entire drive,
or will there be a problem in either the ntfs partition not being wiped, or the others not being wiped.
{have not tried this, but suspect that since the system commander
mbr and partition records are in the 16 bit multifat partition,
that a fat 16 floppy might be able to work in an emergency,
making the xp partition relatively inaccessible,
and then run an ntfs formatted dban floppy afterwards}
but the question is, if it can be done with a single floppy.
