Cygwin mkfs.msdos command not found.

Post by Onz »

I've searched Google and Wiki etc but I can't find what the problem is. I've installed the until-linux but still not working, What I'm trying to do is make the disk readable.

This is the error:

I'm sorry if this is not the right place but Cygwin don't provide help.

Thanks in advance.

If you run "apt-file search mkfs.msdos" it would probably tell you that you need a package named dosfstools. (I don't have Cygwin, though, so I cannot tell for sure.)

Thank you very much XenOS, Trying to convert the files to another computer is a pain :)
