With the FDISK utility in OSR2. FDISK will only allow you to put FAT32 on drives larger than 512MB. Inside FDISK, you must enable "large disk support," to choose FAT32. After exiting FDISK and rebooting, FORMAT (use the OSR2 version only) the drive. NOTE that you must manually reboot after exiting the OSR2 version of FDISK, this is not automatic as in previous versions of FDISK. If you do not reboot between FDISKing and FORMATing, you will get strange-looking error messages. See similar questions...

Right click on the drive icon in My Computer or Windows Explorer. Choose properties. You should see a screen like that at right. The "Type:" line should indicate FAT32. See similar questions...

Yes. The largest partition you can create with these Disk Managers is 2.1GB. If your HD is larger than this, and you are using a Disk Manager, you must use multiple partitions. If your MB BIOS is dated Jan 1996 or older, you may have to use a Disk Manager to access all of an IDE HD larger than 2.1GB. See this Knowledge Base Article for other issues with Disk Managers.

Versions of Windows95 older than OSR2, as well as any DOS version, operate on a file system called FAT16 (or FAT12 in some cases). The existence of large hard drives has led to large partition sizes, which mean large cluster sizes and wasted space: Under FAT16, a smaller cluster size is better, because a small file takes up a whole cluster if there is even one byte in it; the leftover space is called "slack.

Yes. If the disk contents are not backed up / restored then you will lose the Photoscape 3D program / data and therefore you will have to re-install and re-register each region. If you have saved the registration codes then simply provide them when requested otherwise you will have to go online and request the codes. As long as the main computer details have not changed then you should not incur any charges. See similar questions...

All our CompactDrive's are pre-formatted and tested before shipment. If you need to reformat the device again, it is highly recommended that you format the CompactDrive hard disk using the formatter.exe tool, which can be downloaded from our website. In this way you can achieve the highest reliability for the CompactDrive. Note, the hard drive has to be formatted in FAT32, which is the default option with our own formatting ultility. In most cases, formatter. See similar questions...

Older 486 motherboard BIOSes do not support IDE hard drives bigger than about 512MB; some older Pentium motherboard BIOSes (as recent as February 1996) do not support IDE drives over 2GB. If you run an IDE HD off such a motherboard, then you have to use a third-party disk manager to access the entire drive. However, these limitations have nothing to with FAT32, that is, if you can get FAT32 on the drive, it will work. See similar questions...

PowerQuest has released one, as part of Partition Magic version 3.0. It is possible to "force" an upgrade of an existing Windows95 installation, and then convert FAT16 to FAT32 after installation of OSR2. See below for details. Case Study: On a 1.2GB drive, formatted as a single partition, before conversion from FAT16 to FAT32 (via Partition Magic 3.0), there was 58MB free space. After conversion, there was 268MB free space. Your results will vary. See similar questions...

Windows XP can mount and support FAT32 volumes larger than 32 GB, but will not allow you to format a FAT32 volume larger than 32 GB. If you need to format a volume that is larger than 32 GB, start from a Microsoft Windows 98SE or Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me) Startup disk and use the Format tool included on the disk or you can try the format suggestion at www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk .

Yes, provided that you own the Sound Ideas products that you want to transfer. If you are setting up a multi-user audio production environment, you need a license from Sound Ideas. Our Hard Disk Information Sheet has been designed to provide full details about this license. If you decide to sell your hard drive at a later date, however, ALL Sound Ideas audio files MUST be removed from the disc before you transfer ownership. See similar questions...

Check question number 6 about startup disks; most people need these because of hard disk problems. Apple provides an "erase disk" option on their main menu which will re-initialize some but not all hard drives. Apple also has a "disk test" utility to test formatted disks. There is also a popular control panel add on for "SCSI probe" which is helpful, check various Mac shareware sites for it. See similar questions...

No. Interestingly, if you use FAT16 with OSR2, and you try to run Compression Agent, you will get an error telling you to install Plus!. Let me know if you can find a workaround other than installing Plus!. My question to Microsoft: Why did you guys put Compression Agent in OSR2, and then disable it in this way? Seems misleading to me to include a component in OSR2 that (on purpose) doesn't work. See similar questions...

For most users, FAT32 will have a negligible performance impact. Some programs may see a slight performance gain from FAT32. In other programs, particularly those heavily dependent on large sequential read or write operations, FAT32 may result in a modest performance degradation." Basically, the more clusters on your hard drive, the slower the performance. This is true for any file system, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, HPFS, whatever. See similar questions...

I played hooky and ploughed through the Metro specification. Interesting. I satisfied myself that there are ways to anticipate this format in some "package" applications I have in mind, and they should be able to be Metro hybrids in the future. I know what names not to use to avoid future collisions, in particular [;<). See similar questions...

Yes. The PRE-register code remains the same, unless you change your computer configuration. It doesn't matter if you format your computer. The PRE-register code is not software dependent. If you ever change your hardware configuration or your DSS DJ, the registered version, turns to demo version whatever the reason, you can generate another unlock code, free of charge.

No, the licensing system will detect that you already installed an evaluation version and since you can install such an evaluation version only once and run it during 30 days, you will have to buy a license (installation key). See similar questions...

Unfortunately, the process isn't intuitive. You can find some salvation in the following document from David Dennis. (If you have trouble reaching it, I also mirror it here.) This document makes a few assumptions that you should know about in advance: (1) that you are installing from CD media; (2) that your SCSI CD-ROM drive is set to ID=4; (3) that you are not using an R4k architecture.

Click-and-hold with the mouse over the image, you should get a pop-up menu with "Save Image As..." as an option. If your image appeared in a separate window, the program that opened it should have a save item in its menu. Simulator images should be renamed since they're automated output from a script.

Although Kaleidescape uses high quality hard disk drives, drives do fail occasionally. On average, drives in Kaleidescape Systems fail at a rate of one or two percent per year. To prevent loss of information from a drive failure, every Kaleidescape Server uses RAID-K to store redundant information. The 3U Server also features a Hot Spare Disk Cartridge as an additional measure of data protection. See similar questions...
