Now I can't boot to dos, msdos, win95 or 98 to reformat or fdisk.Any body gotta suggestion?Any thing out there that will restore drive to pristine out of package condition? Would putting it on a tape eraser worK? Going nuts here, tried everything,where'sour favorite guru? thanks guys pamos

I don't know how to deal with EZ DRIVE, but I do know how to make it go away. Try a boot floppy and then "fdisk /mbr". If you can get to an A:/ prompt this way, try it and see what happens.

I'm a little unclear on what you are trying to do. Are you trying to boot DOS from a floppy to run Fdisk??

Do you have EZ-Bios installed?? If so, you need to use a special procedure to boot a floppy.

actually the FDISK /mbr trick probably will NOT work. Do you need ez-drive installed? and why?

If you don't need it, then for the love of God nuke that drive mangling ****.

Not that long ago I encountered the same problem you seem to be having. Look here: http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/Forum1/HTML/006941.html

if you have the ez-bios floppy disk, try bootin up with it, if it works then you can use that program to remove ez bios...(you have to have that disk to remove ez-bios since it lives in the boot sector)once you get rid of ezbios you can start fresh. If you dont have the disk try downloading it from somewhere...i have a disk but im not sure if i have the same version...EZ DRIVE IS EVIL!!!!!!EVIL I TELL YOU !!!!!!!EVIL!!!!
