If you want to read the files on your NTFS partiton (used by Windows NT or Windows 2000), I suggest to use this driver: http://www.drdos.net/files/ntfsdos.exe. A few people told me that they had problems using this driver with DR DOS (look at Lineo DR-DOS (4.4) for more detailed information).

In Linux disks are named hda, hdb for the first two disk on the first IDE controller and hdc, hdd for the third and fourth disks. SCSI disks are named sda, sdb, etc, in the order they are discovered.

I boot with Knoppix from the CD drive. Once it has fully loaded to the KDE desktop, I open a konsole command window.

You should not change any partition header entry directly. Do not use disk tools or utilities to make alterations or changes.

No. If the partitioning software allows it, you can allocate all space on a drive to BSD partitions. Note, this drive will not show up on your desktop. Therefore you will need the booter either on a bootable floppy or on a MacOS partition on another drive.

The inner core of a partition is a honeycomb, corrugated material that is enclosed in a steel frame. This is then heat sealed with lightweight fibreglass, and wrapped with 100% polyester fabric. The end result is lightweight, easily cleaned, tackable and durable.

Partition is a legal term used to describe the division of a single property into multiple interests. If three bothers own an apartment house as joint tenants and they cannot get along, one of them may sue to partition the property into three separate interests. Once that is done, each person may sell his interest separately. Another result of a partition suit is that the property can be sold as part of the process and the proceeds divided between the separate owners.

Please note: I've taken a few liberties with this explanation, and skipped over a few subtleties. This isn't exactly what happens, but it should be close enough to satisfy most people. If you'd like more detailed technical information, you're encouraged to search the various LinuxPPC lists for more information.

This is both the default partition for searching for/loading files and the source of the "root partition" information used for chainloaders and data passed to kernels in various formats. This defaults to the "install_partition" variable in the embedded data of the stage1.5/stage2, and can be changed via the "root=" or "rootnoverify=" commands.

Tables with clustered indexes (as of release 11.5 it is possible to have a clustered index on a partitioned table) Tables that are already partitioned. However, you can unpartition and then re-partition tables to change the number of partitions.

These are the steps I used to add a second swap partition to my 3B2/400. Why add a second swap area? By default, the SVR3.1 system disks (the version I use) make one swap area of 10196 blocks on the first hard disk (/dev/rdsk/c1d0s1). While this 5Mb area seems plenty for most uses, I managed to exhaust it. It was time to RTFM. While the manual gives you the confidence to say that you can increase the number of swap partitions, it doesn't clearly tell you exactly how to go about doing that.

Usually the Win9x will be the C: drive, which also contains the files needed for booting. So, you cannot simply reformat this partition to remove Win9x. Instead, the following procedure should work: Delete the C:\Windows and C:\Program Files folders, along with any other folders on the C: drive that you do not need anymore. Some reports also say you can format the C: drive and boot from the Win XP CD, which will allow you to repair the boot files.

You need to attach your Linux drive to another computer which can boot from Windows, and then restore the files on that computer using R-Studio. No matter how that system recognizes your drive, R-Studio should access it. You may also run R-Studio Agent Emergency which boots up from the single floppy and allows R-Studio to access data on that computer over the network.

ESP partitions can be created using the EFI firmware utility Diskpart.efi or the Windows command line utility Diskpart.exe, or they can be created programmatically by using IOCTL_DISK_SET_DRIVE_LAYOUT.

The ESP contains the NTLDR, HAL, Boot.txt, and other files necessary to boot the system, such as drivers. The Partition GUID defines the ESP: DEFINE_GUID (PARTITION_SYSTEM_GUID, 0xC12A7328L, 0xF81F, 0x11D2, 0xBA, 0x4B, 0x00, 0xA0, 0xC9, 0x3E, 0xC9, 0x3B) Do only GPT Disks have ESPs? No, MBR disks can also have ESPs. EFI specifies booting from either GPT or MBR. The ESP on an MBR disk is identified by partition type 0xEF.

The Microsoft Reserved Partition (MSR) reserves space on each disk drive for subsequent use by operating system software. GPT disks do not allow hidden sectors. Software components that formerly used hidden sectors now allocate portions of the MSR for component-specific partitions. For example, converting a basic disk to a dynamic disk causes the MSR on that disk to be reduced in size and a newly created partition holds the dynamic disk database.
