Does MS-Dos 6.22 and its' fdisk.exe have a size limitation of 504Mbytes max?
Or is this my old bios sending bad hd geometry.......?
I'm trying to clean up an IBM dpea-31080 (really old) to try and load FreeNAS.
At least fdisk did show me 3 non-dos partitions on the drive. They are now
gone
per fdisk. Now fdisk tells me the max size of the hd is 504Mbytes. It
really should
be 1034Mbytes. This is not a shocker; just wondering?
BTW, the only way I could be MS-DOS 6.22 to boot up was to lie to it and
say the
date was 12-24-1997! LOL! It would not accept "07" for yy.
And, I'm still working with a suspect eide cable.......... :)
Best,
Duncan
