This should be set to Auto detect. 2. On the right side panel is a box for Monitors. Theis should be set to Use host setting for monitors. 3. Click on Options Tab, then on Power in the left hand panel. Put a check at Enter full screen mode after powering on.

[Freedos-user] edit partitions through usb.
I just got an external hdd enclosure; had a hard drive from a machine with a blown mobo, and put it in the enclosure. Problem is it still has an ext3/ext4 linux on it, eating up 25 GB. I can read write to the dos partition with it's logical drives, but using the ext is a no-no. My question is can I edit the partitions through the usb port in the enclosure, or do I have to stick the drive in another machine to use,say, gparted? Richardwb2...@gmail.com. -- Better than sec?

DFSee doesn't care how it was able to find the HD.

Problem is it still has an ext3/ext4 linux on it, eating up 25 GB. So you do or do not have any use for the ext3 Linux partition(s)? I can read write to the dos partition with it's logical drives, but using the ext is a no-no. LTools? wDE? TestDisk? FD Fdisk? Presz? What exactly are you trying to do? Copy files? Reformat? Delete or create or resize partitions? Hack at the raw sector level? My question is can I edit the partitions through the usb port in the enclosure, or do I have to stick the drive in another machine to use,say, gparted? Edit the partitions as in resize? Delete? Add? Are you trying to use them under DOS and/or Linux and/or ... ? Temporarily or permanently? DFSee doesn't care how it was able to find the HD. If any driver enabled it to be seen by DFSee, it can do its things with the tables and partitions, including change the type, delete, etc. DFSee isn't freeware since a long time ago (though he still hosts various older versions), but it does apparently have a FreeDOS-hosted USB stick that you can buy. Hmmm, also CD-ROM or bootable diskette, and apparently evaluation versions can be downloaded. So yeah, you could try one of those. http://www.dfsee.com/dfsee/cdrom.php#usb If the EXT2 has something important on it and you don't have Linux installed, boot a live Linux CD an copy it off first. Files themselves don't care what type of partition they are on. I assume he's thought of that already, but I don't know of a lot of lean Linuxes.

Perhaps ttylinux or even old ZipSlack or old DSL would be good enough. TinyCore or Puppy might also do. IIRC, the ISO for TinyCore is all of 10MB, with just enough to get a working Linux instance, and the assumption you'll add your choice of apps after. Puppy's ISO creates a bootable Live CD, and he could boot from that and use GPartEd to diddle partitions. I think it will work over a USB connection to an external drive enclosure. Under Windows, I use Ext2Dsd from http://www.ext2fsd.com, and open source driver that permits read/write access to ext2/3/4 file systems. I have two flavors of Linux on ext4 file systems as well as Win2K on the machine where FreeDOS is installed, and it works just fine. __ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 -- Better than sec?
