Strange that FreeDOS can see the full size 140GB, but MS-DOS just 8GB
This could well be a limitation with MS-DOS. There were certainly
differences between MS-DOS 6.22 FDISK and the FDISK that ships with

Hi Gerry,
One thing I forgot to mention. Can you also run FDISK /STATUS at each
stage of your testing and note the output. This _should_ correctly
identify the overall size of your RAID 5 array and show what you've used
I've done it at once. So
Hi Johnson,
fix the problem of it not booting at this stage
Yes.
I remember the procedure clearly, it's really doesn't make sense to me
also.
Luckily some parts not yet arrive and I can still spend some time to
play with it, I'll break the RAID and try again, following your step.
And see

Hi Gerry,
But you didn't tell it to write an MBR?
FDISK should automatic update the MBR when quit (or I'm wrong?)
OK, but if there was no MBR, this may not create one. That's what my
earlier post was all about. Can you try this (all data will be
Hi Johnson,
Something doesn't add up here. As I understand it, we are ONLY trying to
fix the problem of it not booting at this stage - is that right? The 8Gb
thing is a different problem.
Are you sure you followed the exact steps, in the exact order I listed?
If you did, and it didn't boot,

Hi Johnson,
Out of interest, I think you said it would not boot?
Again, should be FDISK problem, seems it can't write the MBR correctly
But you didn't tell it to write an MBR?
(happen again today in other PII system!)
Just a normal setup procedure after setting up the RAID-5:
1) FDISK,
Yes, that's what I'm thinking. The problems will arise when you can't do
multi-tasking and multi-threading, and utilizing full power of load
balancing on dual XEON:(
Have you tried DR-DOS's multitasking?

Actually no! I guess it's possible then?
But at some point you have to look at the history of prot-mode, isolated
processes, installable services, 32/64 bit architecture, self-headling
file-systems, and decide how far to take it

I'm just want to TEST, to see if FreeDOS can work on Xeon server

Yes, I've been testing it on XEONs and no problems as yet. Did you
notice any other glitches other than the this?

Hi Gerry,
Could be a number of things, but in general you'd never put FreeDOS on a
RAID 5 partition of 140Gb.
