I don't think that it is actually a hard drive. They just called it that probably because the term flash drive hadn't been coined yet.

What utilities can I use to low-level format my DiskOnKey?
Most utilities on the market can be used with DiskOnKey. Make sure to review the software utility user manuals for complete instructions and capabilities.

I have problems getting Partition Magic to see usb drives, so I didn't suggest it.
Look at
http://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbtrouble_e.html the last section "Format an USB drive"
I think I suggested in the other thread to try fdisk. Boot to a Win98 startup disk. Then you can run fdisk.
If you can get DOS to see the diskonkey, it might work.
