I have a formatted a 2 terabyte SSD with a program explicitly called "fat32 format", set it active, I put the files of a Win98 bootCD on it, but it failed booting with a black screen and a blinking cursor in the left upper corner, but not exactly. I had the same issue earlier with an 64GB USB drive which I fixed and it worked (successfully formatted with recent HP USB tool).

I think I need to re-format it with another program in Windows 10. Since it's 2TB, DISKPART and FDISK don't work.

Or is there some setting of the drive I gotta tweak?

Edit: It Worked! Thanks to Barlop, I formatted the SSD with an USB (looks like Format.com did support 2TB format), plugged the USB out, and I was successfully able to boot from SCSI SSD! To prove the boot was successful: https://9tbxmw.am.files.1drv.com/y4pICd7rCU24Z6GUa18ulyaomUlRN9fT2YMppZ7VfyEsO60UJDpGL0MM75YHT7MZKZPmVuTR4XaHXXtxWUO3dEHeC3vd9v9IpyfI5opBti14vqZ2-KjbWAdAfCUfLUHL65K6cEOf_Cm9HC4JnqkHwyECe2onT9RdwcllGE2-xRme574VVDhJULpGVrL31LQDPD6T6tVS7aumjmkvWwQEXWy5Q/2019-09-03Error.png

When I direct command.com to D:\command.com (my USB) and enter "C:" followed by "cd foldername" I get this message (and press F):

Not ready reading drive C
Abort, Retry, Fail?
Fail on INT 24 - foldername

I guess this is a different issue and am really happy that you guys helped me out!
