But DOS 7+ is LBA, right? It works like a charm there... If the partition is at sector 0, ScanForPrimaryPartitions gets 0 as the startSector. This is in most if not all cases, right? Well if the tool moves it to sector 1 and tells FreeDOS that the partition is there, and FreeDOS recognizes the

it on a floppy disk, it works perfectly under FreeDOS. It just doesn't work with C: Does anyone know of a similar program which works under FreeDOS? (it must support FAT32 like LFNSort) Many thanks in advance, Marton -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Strange%3A-Directory
