Which? Ontrack Disk Manager? (They license it out and it gets rebadged... it
usually boots with a big blue Ontrack bar across the screen, like this:
O N T R A C K D I S K M A N A G E R
Serial: WDCVER (C)opyright Ontrack blah blah
Press spacebar to boot from floppy diskette...)
It works, I'll give it that. But it seems rather limited in the support
stakes - not only can it not be removed without losing all the data, it refused
to work with my OS/2 Warp 3, Linux 1.2.summat (2 wasn't out when I used it),
CP/M (not that that needs it) and WinNT 3.1. Trying to use your BIOS's LBA
mode will result in 'INCOMPATABLE (sic) BIOS TRANSLATION DETECTING! REFRESH
DDO! DDO ERROR - SYSTEM HALTED.' The only way I managed to install Linux
(even on a second drive) was to boot around it by putting the floppy in before
it asked.
Anyway, IIRC the floppy disk it is supplied on was non-bootable and required
you to run DM.EXE from DOS... Fine and dandy except the PC I bought the drive
from had never booted DOS - it was an embedded CP/M machine.
