Where c0 is the controller number. t0 is the target (SCSI ID number) (omit for ATAPI/IDE) d0 is always 0 for SCSI, the drive # for ATAPI/IDE p0 is the partition; DOS is the first partition here /mnt is the mount point You can use the normal UNIX commands to copy files, 'cp', etc., after that to move the data. DOS filenames are in the old 8.3 format (lower case) for Solaris 2.5.1, in long filename format (lower case) for Solaris 2.

It is best to have your OS on a separate partition than the rest of your data. This results in less fragmentation and ensures speedy operation of your system. If your hard drive is large enough, then partitioning is probably a good idea for you. Common practice is to have at least three partitions: one ~8GB for the OS, one ~10GB for Documents and other personal files, and whatever is left for programs.

The secondary DOS partitions are found after ALL the primary partitions. For example, if you have an “E” partition as the second DOS partition on the second SCSI drive, you need to create the special files for “slice 5” in /dev, then mount /dev/da1s5: # cd /dev # sh MAKEDEV da1s5 # mount -t msdos /dev/da1s5 /dos/e

Your computer has a disk larger than 512 MB. This version of Windows includes improved support for large disks, resulting in more efficient use of disk space on large drives, and allowing disks over 2 GB to be formatted as a single drive.

Yes. DOS extended partitions are mapped in at the end of the other ''slices'' in FreeBSD, e.g., your D: drive might be /dev/da0s5, your E: drive, /dev/da0s6, and so on. This example assumes, of course, that your extended partition is on SCSI drive 0. For IDE drives, substitute ad for da appropriately if installing 4.0-RELEASE or later, and substitute wd for da if you are installing a version of FreeBSD prior to 4.0.

In this case, utility programs usage should be avoided, as they do not always provide satisfactory results. If its "As-Failed" condition, you can usually recover your data with the entire directory structure intact. However, NOT RUNNING UTILITY PROGRAMS IS CRITICAL. Do not install new programs or attempt to save data onto the affected drive; this could make the situation worst.

We always use the Linux program fdisk or sfdisk to partition a new hard drive - even for making DOS FAT32 partitions or HPFS/NTFS partitions. The scheme we use depends entirely upon how large the hard drive is, what OS(s) we are installing, how you intend to use the machine, and of course your preferences. After reviewing the hardware in your order, we will make a recommendation allowing for smooth upgrades in the future (keeping your personal files and non-OS software in place).

NOTE: Before attempting to install *bsd on a computer with an active DOS partition, ALWAYS back up your hard drive. No one on the net, no matter how talented, can help you recover a hosed MS-DOS file system. If you lose all of your data, it is YOUR fault. During the install phase, you need to have un-allocated space left on your disk drive. This allows the install program to correctly install the *bsd partition in the partition table and DOS to peacefully co-exist with *bsd.

We will partition your hard drives however you want. Upon receiving your order, we will review the hardware and operating choices in your system and make a recommendation for your approval or modification. If you let us know how you intend to use your new LAC system in your response to our initial configuration approval request (sent by e-mail), we will work with you to determine an optimal partition scheme.

No, you can't. Each partition represents the exact clone of the master disc. They can not be combined or truncated

Yes. Linux uses the standard MS-DOS partitioning scheme, so it can share your disk with other operating systems. Linux has loadable kernel modules for (presumably) all versions of Microsoft FAT and VFAT file systems, including Windows 2000 and WindowsMe. In a correctly configured system, they should load automatically when the partitions are mounted. Note, however, that many other operating systems may not be exactly compatible. DOS's FDISK.EXE and FORMAT.

That's fairly easy: You simply need to add a line to your CONFIG.SYS file, for example: DEVICE=C:\CDROM\IDE_CD.SYS /D:CD0001 Please change C:\CDROM\IDE_CD.SYS to your cd driver for DOS. You can get the driver with the drive on a diskette or try to use a different one from www.simtel.net. The example shown above is for MS DOS, for FreeDOS it would be FDEX /D:CD0001 and for DR DOS it would be NWCDEX /D:CD001). Look also at What is conventional memory? (2.

We strongly recommend against resizing or formatting a hard drive partition that contains bad blocks, as this could lead to a total data loss on this partition. Acronis Disk Director Server does not allow you to resize hard drive partitions with bad blocks. We recommend that you create an image of this partition using Acronis True Image Server für Windows, reformat the hard disk so the bad blocks are recovered and then restore the created image resizing the partition.

Windows: By default, the preferences are stored in HKCU/Software/BitWise Chat/BitWise. Optionally, you may store the preferences in BitWise.ini in your home folder by pressing "Setup" prior to logging in and specifying you wish to store your preferences in that file rather than the registry. Detached mode allows you to use basic client features even when your computer cannot maintain communication with the BitWise server.
