Hi Rajil,
thanks for sharing the info on LBA.

i have lba in bios.

how to do that. i have (hope columns stay)
hda1 hda2 < hda5 hda6 hda7 > hda3 hda4
2G 2G 2G 2G
old_linuxRH_6.2 swap newlinuxRH6.0 ext2 win95-f16 fat32
hda4 partition is giving lba problem.
linux-fdisk says, all space has already been alloted. 2Gigs is still
remaining at a separate area (non-contiguous to other linux partitions).
though linux-fdisk is then proceeding to allot that 2G to primary dos.

i could not udnerstand it. same win partition being made logical win and
ext2?

i have win95 osr2 4.00.1111. previously it was installed on fat32. so it
did read fat32.

later on it crashed, and i had to reformat the partition (saving data in
a backup partition). at that time i did not have fat32 boot up disk so i
have to reformat it using fat16. now it is fat16.
i still don't know how to make a win partition as fat16 or fat32 without
using linux-fdisk.
fat16 is indeed slower than fat32. in fat32, a SETI pachage used to get
processed in 12+ hours. in FAT16 it is taking at least 2 to three hours
more.
