Advantage or disadvantage of partitioning disk?
Since it seemed to fix itself yesterday before I redid the partition on the second disk. Just weird I guess. Thanks again for your assistance. When I right click on either the primary partition disk 0 (which is C:) or the primary partition (which is the only partition) on disk 1 (which is Z:) the option to

Partitioning disk for OSX - how/recommendations?
I recently had to go through this exercise with Solaris 8 & System Commander 2000: I have 2 disks with Windows already installed on disk 1. I then installed Solaris on disk 2, so no need for partitioning disk 1. The problem with this, is that Solaris doesn't seem to come up on System Commander's menu;

If it is FAT32 you can always slip a Windows 98 startup disk into your floppy drive and use the DOS based FDISK facility to partition your drive accordingly. Once partitioned you can then reformat both partitions. If you are using NTFS files sytem then you can't boot to DOS because DOS doesn't recognise an NTFS

David Miller da...@davemloft.net linux kernel From: David Miller <da...@davemloft.net> Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2008 23:21:39 -0800 (PST) Filesystems like ext2 put their superblock 1 block into the partition in order to avoid overwriting disk labels and other uglies. UFS does this too, as do several others.

This is particularly required for more reasons than with the later, NT-based Windows versions because Windows 98 still boots (and largely runs) off of a real mode DOS kernel, and must be installed in the first primary partition on the hard disk which is detected as the bootable disk by the BIOS at power-on,

Disk Management vs Acronis
I booted into primary xp disk and ran vista setup from vista dvd. The setup starts but can not see the new secondary disk as that disk has not been partitioned yet and I was hoping that vista setup will allow me to do that. Is there a way to partition the new disk during vista install? Thanks Regards.

V., I think you have to use a BartPE for startup and some recovery tools to find folders/files on your disk. With this kind of steps you have taken i think you have no chance on another way to find some old data. Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties,

Moving from W2k to XP with a Big HD
Since you've deleted and recreated the partitions, looking at the underlying partition data on the disk probably won't reveal much now.

Windows XP Home Edition When I start my Compaq Presario 2100 laptop, it goes thru the motions, then opens to a blue "empty" page and stays there. So..I started the computer using all options given, it stops everytime with: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\Windows\system32\drivers\atisgkaf.sys and stays there.

If You wish to do a clean partitioning, they are. But if You want to do a dirty partitioning like resize partition or convert NTFS to FAT or HPFS, it is not possible. With "good" I mean usable. Usable for deleting all existing partitions on a specific disk and usable for creating new ones on an empty disk.

Now, how can i partition the newly added drive? I have no xlv installed, and i also can not install anything, cos the system disk is 97% full. My idea is to have a partition on the second drive to be mounted as /usr, so i have some spare place on the root disk and also place for installations on the second disk.
