What does diskmanager do different from fdisk when you partition a drive? I have used diskmanager to low-level format a 320 Meg drive into a single 120 Meg dos partition and a 200 Meg Unix partition and everything works just great. Can someone explain why i need dmdrvr.bin? Also where are the partition names stored? geoff
