Sorry I misread. Your FAT16 (d:) drive needs to follow the rules of dos installation, has to be located within the first 2 gigbytes. That is how I've always partitioned even larger >40GB hard drives for the libretto and never had a problem with seeing partitions. Why not just make it FAT32? You are using WIN98 DOS which has no problems with it.:) john --- Avi Cohen Stuart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2007 20:44:36 +0100 > From: "Avi Cohen Stuart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: RE: [LIB] Can someone explain the > following?! > > Hi John, > > partition 1 FAT32 c: > partition 2 FAT d: > partition 3 102 MB empt y > partition 4 logical with nfts > > I'm talking about the d: which cannot be accessed > and should be > accessable, even if it is followed by another > partition which is ntfs? > > when I remove the 4th partition it works. > > Avi. > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: John [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Monday, 05 November, 2007 20:38 > > To: Libretto > > Subject: Re: [LIB] Can someone explain the > following?! > > > > Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2007 11:36:47 -0800 (PST) > > From: John <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Subject: Re: [LIB] Can someone explain the > following?! > > > > hi Avi, > > > > win98 does not read ntfs. > > > > john > > > > --- Avi Cohen Stuart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > wrote: > > > > > Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2007 12:18:17 +0100 > > > From: "Avi Cohen Stuart" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > Subject: Can someone explain the following?! > > > > > > Case: Libretto 110 > > > HD: 40 Gb > > > > > > First partition: Primary Partition approx 5 GB > this will be the W2K > > > root > > > (FAT32) > > > Second Partition: Primary Partition approx 2Gb > this will > > contain the > > > Installation files (FAT) I leave 102 Mb empty > Then I create > > a Logical > > > Partition with 1 large NTFS partition > > > > > > The partitions I create on my XP Laptop using a > USB-to-HD converter > > > thingy (Kama Connect) > > > > > > Then I copy the W2K CD to the second partition. > > > Remove the HD from the USB (on a nice way > etc...) > > > > > > Insert the HD into the libretto > > > Boot using a Win98 disk > > > Do a > > > cd C: > > > looks OK > > > cd D: > > > Abort/Fail/Retry... > > > > > > GRRRRR!!! > > > > > > Go back to the XP > > > delete the Logical Partition > > > > > > Boot again in Win98 > > > and then I can access the D: driver > > > > > > WHY DO I HAVE TO DELETE THE LOGICAL Partiton!? > > > > > > Avi. > > > (yeah, I know, the 40 Gb is probably BIG for the > bios... > > but I don't > > > understand it...) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > __________________________________________________ > > Do You Yahoo!? > > Tired of spam?
