I finally got back to my disk problem which was messed-up by trying to
install Phatlinux and below shows the result of dd as sugested by Lawson:
#define __dummy_lock(lock) (*(__dummy_lock_t *)(lock))
#define spin_lock_string \
"\n1:\t" \
"lock ; btsl $0,%0\n\t" \
"jc 2f\n" \
".section .text.lock,\"ax\"\n" \
"2:\t" \
"testb $1,%0\n\t" \
"jne 2b\n\t" \
"jmp 1b\n" \
".previous"
#define spin_unlock_string \
"lock ; btrl $0,%0"
#define spin_lock(lock) \
__asm__ __volatile__( \
spin_lock_string \
:"=m" (__dummy_lock(lock)))
#define spin_unloc
A strange looking boot sector indeed!
I then tried going up the ladder in blocks and then in bs and it looks the
entire disk is written over with those I assume Linux codes. That would
mean goodby my DOS disk. Well i have all the programs on diskettes and the
files backed-up. It's just a lot of work to reinstall all. I still love my
Foxplus which I can so well access from Linux.
Command dosfsck says can only open 2 FAT not 19.
NO THANKS TO PHATLINUX!!! EVERYBODY BEWARE!!!!
