Spinrite has a problem with drives formatted with DMDRVR from Ontrack
because DMDRVR formats the boot track normally but to handle the larger
than 32 MB limit of DOS, it changes the drive table.  This will make
Spinrite puke when running the low level format.

The only way I can see to get around this problem would be to upgrade
DOS to 4.01 and use DOS to format your drive larger than 32 MB.

Jeff
