Chin) Newsgroups: comp.sys.ibm.pc Subject: Re: Speedstor - does it work somewhere ? Message-ID: Date: 19 Apr 89 03:40:02 GMT Organization: Electrical and Comp. Engineering, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 21 I believe that some DOS version have a 4 partition per drive restriction. You may wish to try redoing the partitions with PARTED and make fewer part- itions. As an additional piece of information ... because you don't have that part- icular drive time in the BIOS table, you will most likely loose storage space ... even if SpedStor partitions and formats the entire partition for DOS use. This is because DOS uses BIOS calls which may circumvent the BIOS that SpedStor places in effect with the DEVICE=HARDRIVE.SYS in CONFIG.SYS. I hope that this help. __________ ___ / \ / / /_/ / /\/ _/ / / / __/. /__ / / / / / / / / / / 4730 Centre Ave. #412 ARPAnet: Johnny.J.Chin@andrew.cmu.edu / ------- / Pittsburgh, PA 15213 BITnet: jc58@andrew \__________/ (412) 268-8936 UUCP: ...!harvard!andrew.cmu.edu!jc58 Computer Dr. Disclaimer: The views expressed herein are STRICTLY my own, and not CMU's.
