Sounds like you have an old version of FDISK. Your choices are to acquire a newer version of FDISK (the NTFS partitions will show as non-DOS, not NTFS) or simply use format from a dos prompt. If using format, make sure that you boot with a bootable floppy and not the DOS in Win2k as this is driven by the o/s and will cause problems as the o/s eats itself whilst trying to execute within the dos shell.
