Having moved my Debian system from a 850Meg IDE to a 1.2 Gig IDE that had been previously used for Win95 [I know, but I _have_ to use Win95 for certain apps], it appears that the partition table is really messed up.
Using LBA in the BIOS settings, Debian seems to be happy with it, but DOS/Win95 doesn't report the sizes correctly. If I use Extended CHS for the BIOS, DOS/WIn95 is happy but Debian is not. I have to rebuild the Win95 installation anyway, and am willing to re-do the Linux also if I can resolve this problem. The large-disk HOTWO suggests using LBA for large disks. This may be fine for Linux, but I am not convinced it is correct if one wants to put a DOS partition on the Linux disk. At this point I am beginning to think that for a 2-disk system, I should make the first one Win95 exclusively, and make the second one strictly a Linux disk (and use LBA on the Linux disk). If anyone has successfuly done this I would like to hear the details of your configuration. BTW I am using Intel Zappa Motherboard W/AMI BIOS.
