Re: [Thinkpad] ThinkPad T20

If booting to a floppy, at the command prompt, type fdisk c: and see if that
helps.

The fdisk utility will allow you to view the partitions, just to be sure
it's the hard drive you're really working with.

I'm not sure what you are asking when you say "how do I access this window".
If you mean the pc's bios, simply power the unit up, and hit F1 when the IBM
logo appears. On a T20 you shouldn't have to hold down the button until
after you hit the power switch.

Subject: [Thinkpad] ThinkPad T20

I have a ThinkPad T20 which I like very much. My problem stems from loading
something that it didn't like so I decided to reformat the drive and do a
recovery. Ouch! I tried to do an FDISK but kept getting drive A as the
drive that should be drive C. How do I make the fool thing do what it's
supposed to do? I still haven't found how to do a listing of the different
drives, i.e., list the hard drive as C, etc. How do I access this window,
as holding F1 down and doing the other things that are supposed to bring
this window up don't seem to work.

Any help is appreciated.
