What is the quickest way to return a hard DRIVE to raw? I have some very specific installation software that fails EVEN if you use fdisk or delpart to remove all existing partitions as it is expecting a raw drive before it begins its
own format utility. I researched diskpart, specifically the clean command and am wondering if that would do the TRICK. I ALSO downloaded Reclaime but haven't had a chance to try it yet.
Additional information that may be helpful..this is OS/2 Warp, the installation is from floppy disk and when it is successful you end up with two FAT32 partitions. Why this s/w requires a raw drive to start with is certainly a
puzzlement to me but again it is very vendor-specific.
Thanks in advance for your help...I didn't think OS/2 Warp REQUIRED a "raw" disk. It does require a volume less than 2 GB in size.
