where to buy the next box of HDDs?

Nah, I might be wrong recalling but it seems to me fdisk in 98 used to write large chunks of F6 in some circumstances to partitions.

Not that bad ) memory wink .
Under 9x Fdisk does write F6's on hard disks not all over,

I was born modest; not all over, but in spots.
