First of all, hello to everybody. This is my first day here.
I've got a Western digital 20gb 7200 rpm (i think it belongs to the =
"caviar" series...).
4 years ago i had a 80mb ibm (My beloved ps2 386!!!) and ms-dos 6.22. So =
i decided to install that dos again. I partitioned my hd in this way
primary 15 gb fat32 partition
primary 1 gb fat16 partition
extended 4 gb fat32 partition.
I decided to make bootable the second, becouse i had to install dos =
there. But... ms-dos fdisk doesn't recognize at all my hd. Well, exactly =
it doesn't report space in a correct way. So i tryed with dr-dos 7.03.
This one recognize correctly all the space and partition type but it =
cannot modify them.
I know that dos operating systems have 8.4 gb limitation, but there is a =
way to override it?
And what if i put the fat16 partition in the first 8.4 gb (using dr-dos =
fdisk)? For example:
primary 1 gb fat16 partition
primary 15-19gb fat32 partition
Well... another question. Adding fat32 drivers in the first installation =
disk would help?
Sorry to bother all of you for such things, but i need help.
