Here is a cute little trick.

Take a copy of HELP.COM, and rename it to FDISK.COM.

Open it up in a hex-editor

replace two instances of QBASIC.EXE with FDISK.EXE + space

replace one instance of /QHELP with /FPRMT

When you run FDISK then, it wont ask you for the confusing large disk support (which means 'FAT32 here', not 'Greater than 8.4 GB' .

It works a treat, and you don't need batch files! You can still get to the real fdisk by typing FDISK.EXE
