Thanks to all the folks that gave suggestions about disk manager and dos 5.
It turned out that disk manager is not needed any longer.  The steps I took
follow:

- make dos 5 bootable diskettes
- boot with dos 5 in drive A:
- low level format HD with debug (controller has rom in it to do that)
- fdisk with dos 5
- format with dos 5

and I was set in 10 minutes.
