Hi,
If you boot using win95 MSdos 7, and you run the ezmax or ezdrive, or the
dg.exe from the micro house maxblast,
it gives you a choise fat16 or fat32.
If you select fat32, it will make a single partision!!!
I did this the first time, and it copyed system files but didn't boot.
I thought this was because the dos isn't fat32 complient, I later found
out it didn't boot because of the drive failing to initialize.
the partissions are:
c: 2.106 G,
d: 2.147 G,
e: 2.147 G,
f: 2.147 G,
g: 2.147 G,
h: 2.147 G,
i: 800 MB aprox
Wheather or not you use DM ontrack or the microhouse maxblast disk it stil
will load a bios extender if your cmos bios doesn't support the size of
maxtor drive you have.
BTW
What is your hard drive?
