Hi all,
I have a Very old computer...
it is an AT-clone with a 386 DX 40mhz cpu
it used to run Win3.11 before I deltree'd Win3.11 out of frustration
yet it still has all it's Win3.11 software that I hope to use again when
I re-install Win3.11
now my OS om it is Caldera DR-DOS 7.03
I have a number of new DOS apps that take up the room Windows used to
take
my 340 MB drive is packed and I am also using DriveSpace
I need a new HDD
where do I go from here?
what is your recommendation for a new HDD that will fit my old AT case
and BIOS(which has the option of a user defined drive(as was the 340 MB))
((in my BIOS user defined opt. it asks for cylinder, head, etc.
numbers)) ???
what size and model should i be looking for?
and where would I purchase/obtain it?
if I got a larger HDD installed, would i need to partition it?
I've heard MS-DOS 6.22 needs a smaller or equal to 2 GB partition
yet Caldera DR-DOS 7.03 is unlimited? what about Win3.11?
and if I did obtain a new larger HDD how would I transfer the data from
my current 340 MB HDD??
I do have a parallel port iomega 100 MB zip drive yet how do I do a
*DOS* back-up of my 340 MB HDD then restore to a new HDD using it? is it
some DOS DISKCOPY command? will this allow me to smoothly back-up my
current 340 MB HDD? with prompts when each zip disk gets full?
please remember I only have DOS(Caldera DR-DOS 7.03) currently on this
machine... right now it is not possible to re-install Win3.11 because
my/the HDD is so full, so are there *DOS* back-up programs available and
if so where would i obtain them or would some sort of DOS DISKCOPY command
in conjunction with my zip drive be sufficient??
thanks in advance for any help rendered,
andy
