DOS 4.01 is not only so brain dead that it doesn't understand itself,
things it creats are unknown to the rest of the "old world".  It's
not just big partitions, it's the basic boot record.  Go back to 3.3
or earlier and low level format the disk.  Then chunk in *nix and dos 4.
Or you >could< spend the time and $$ for a newer version  :)
