My linux "education" hasn't covered changing things in the directory yet...

I've reformatted this drive on both my windows ME and XP. The fdisk command doesn't work for removable disks in ms-dos. So I'm at a loss on how to format this thing with one partition!! Please let me know if you can think of something else!!

Thanks for responding!!!!!
I had the same exact problem when I tried to use my SONY Micro Vault drive.
