I recently asked for "ideas about moving Debian to another disk", and got some good suggestions. I decided to use Paul Serice's excellent procedure he has on his page at
http://lac.laci.net/pweb/ugs/mini_howto.html Almost everything went well. I moved the Linux partitions from the second IDE disk to the first, then made the [original] first drive the slave, and added a large first drive. I partitioned the first drive (/dev/hda) into 3 DOS partitions. In my original configuration, the second drive had only LInux partitions on it. Under the new configuration I wanted to use the first part of the slave [Linux] drive for DOS. I partitioned it this way: /dev/hdb1 375MBytes DOS /dev/hdb2 128Mbytes Linux (root) /dev/hdb3 100MBytes Linux (swap) /dev/hdb4 remainder of disk (/usr) There are two strange things happening now. Dos reports the DOS partition on the second drive as D:, then the second and third partitions on the first drive as E: and F:. I am confused why the partition on the second drive would appear before the second and third partitions of the first drive. Also, DOS reports that D: (the dos partition on the second drive) as being 1.2Gigs -- that is how big the whole drive is. DOS doesn't see the Linux partitions there at all. I know they are there, I am running them right now as I type this! What is going on? How can I fix this so I get the correct amount of disk space reported for the DOS partition on my Linux drive? BTW I have the Linux drive set up for LBA in the [AMI]BIOS, and the DOS drive is set up for Extended CHS. I hope someone can help me figure this out!
