Summary: how can I use smartdrv.sys in xt Message-ID: Date: 3 May 91 00:15:37 GMT References: <7255@rex.cs.tulane.edu> <32483@usc> Sender: news@uflorida.cis.ufl.EDU Organization: Auburn University Engineering Lines: 13 However, I didn't understand why non-standard block size occurs in my h/d. Because I followed the instruction which the Disk Manager aksed me when I installed my two hard disks. What make me confused is that if Disk Manger is used in a computer, smartdrv.sys does not work at all. If a pc has 100mb h/d and uses DOS, as I know, this h/d should be partitioned into at least 4 logical partitions. That means, Disk Manager should be used for such a pc system. In this case, doesn't smartdrv.sys work at all? If true, it is very ridiculous. I am very confused about this. Could anybody give me a clue for this. To be honest, I know only XT a little but not AT or 386. Now I am using accelerator board for my slow xt-clone. Can it be a cause of this problem?
