On the command line, type "DIR /W" and it will show up in the list as DEBUG.EXE. It comes with all versions of DOS so it is suspicious if your disk doesn't have it. If it's not there, then you need to get it. You can use some other version than the one with 2.1 if you need to. There is a free one on this page but there are others.I have dos 2.1 and can not find this DEBUG

Yes, the low-level format technique used depends on the type of controller.ok I got it up now How do I tell what controller card I have?
Here are pics of my floppy controller
how would I go about doing my low level format?
1. Boot from a DOS boot floppy that contains DEBUG.COMcan I have help on this
