I have a disk with Linux and win98 dos on it. I opt with function key to select which OD. Default is DOS. While in DOS, I executed sys c: from a floppy that I downloaded from the fd site. Now when I boot to this OS, I get, after the copyright notice and before a device? line in the config .sys, the following:
- InitDiskWARNING: using suspect partition Pri:1 FS 0b: with calculated values 81-194-63 instead of 75-254-63 C: HD1, Pri[ 1], CHS= 0-1-1, start= 0 MB, size= 603MB WARNING: using suspect partition Ext:1 FS 0b: with calculat4ed values 81-196-1 instead of 77-1-1 WARNING: using suspect partitionj Oh well ya'll got the idea. 5 warning messages, each "calculated values and "instead of" values that are different. Finally it runs (haven't dried Suse yet). Have I written over my MBR or worse?
