I am having alot of disk errors in a minix partition that I have
created.  I am trying to reformat just that partition.

As it is a non-dos partition, DOS would not recognise it.  Does
anyone know of a way to have DOS recognise that partition so that
I could reformat it and later use "mkfs" on it to create a minix
partition again.

Thanks for any advice...
