Keywords: ESIX, SCSI, DOS driver access. Message-ID: <1991Mar23.080102.3842@netcom.COM> Date: 23 Mar 91 08:01:02 GMT Organization: Netcom - Online Communication Services UNIX System {408 241-9760 guest} Lines: 22 I just installed a SCSI(MC1588) 668MB Micropolis drive with AD1542B card on PC 386 box. The hardware configuration on CMOS was set to NOT INSTALL.(AD1542B will get it.) I installed DOS4.01 and ESIX 5.3.2.D without any problems. Then I found that I can access DOS driver A: and B: using mdir or mcopy commands. I got error when I tried to use drive c:. The error message was "Unknow physical format or not a DOS disk." This error can be produced by using driver A: but don't put diskette into driver. Can any one tell me what is wrong? Thanks! Oh! One more question: I got 100MB on harddisk not yet assigned to UNIX or DOS. How can I assign this 100BM disk space into UNIX file systems(like mount it on /user3)? Thanks again! -- /_______________________________________________________\ | A Midnight NewsReader | | Jian Yuan Peng jypeng@netcom.COM | | Netcom - Online Communication Services San Jose, CA | \-------------------------------------------------------/
