Jim has been using pqmagic to format his disks before putting DR-DOS on 
them, otherwise they are not recognized when you boot with a 
Win98/DOS floppy disk.  Maybe you can also format with pqmagic in order to 
fix this naming problem, even on DR-DOS computers?  He heard that the 
latest DR-DOS has fixed this problem (a bug in older versions).

I don't know if you can reformat a drive already formatted with DR-DOS 
fdisk, without losing all the data.
