My disk has 1224 cylinders so I use Disk Manager for the partitioning. Windows 3 does not like the dmdrvr.bin driver when running in enhanced mode. Works fine in real mode but who wants that on a 386?? With dmdrvr loaded the systems just sits there with the banner on the screen and occassionally accessing the disk. If I remove dmdrvr then it works fine but of course I can only access the C: partition. I have very little of any use on C:, it's all on D:, E:, F: and G: so I'm stuck. I hope that a later version of the driver is capable of running with windows in enhanced mode.
