Without success. :-? Do you use "Extended partitions"? Their partition table is MS-DOS like, escept that Sector 0 of the HD does not mind to MSX, but it has too have some specific data for the PCs. Try then to format the HD first with a PC (it doesn't mind the partitions, even FAT16 or 32), and then make the NEW partition table with Novaxis. Or write the correct data on the phisical Sector 0 of the HD. I can try to attach my Sector 0 here. > The PC hangs on the Novaxis >partitiontable, if I use NOVAXTAB.BAS (which converts to a >bug-free partition table) it works, but then I cannot read files that >are longer than one cluster because of MS-DOS stupidity (it cannot >correctly handle 32mbyte FAT-12 partitions). That's a MS-DOS problem, not MSX ;) **** MSX Mailinglist.
