DOS? DOS can't do much... 2GB partitions MAX. That means you'd have to make 250 partitions on a 500 GB disk - and you can't do that. Why don't you partition using Windows Setup Disks? It's much easier to use that.
You could use a 98 startup disk - that can make much larger partitions. In which case you use FDISK to partition and then format. But why would you use Windows 98 - it's old, antiquated, and not very good.
