Subject: If you still need help...

If you are still having a problem getting the 20mb drive going, you can do
the following:
  
get into debug
type g=c800:0005  (this starts the western digital hard format routine)
select disk drive 0
select interleave factor of 6 (to be ibm compatible)
Format the disk.
DON'T virtual format the disk.
DON't mark bad areas.

get out of debug (q)
use the FDISK program to partition the disk into a DOS volume
use the format/s c: command to put DOS on the disk.
 
you should now have a bootable 20mb hard disk.
