Most likely some partitioning/disk-related problem. Is "/" fully inside the first 1024 disk cylinders? (Maybe that's no longer required - I've forgotten.)

Nar like I said you need to use a partition table EDITOR or a sector editor to see the entrys in the partition table itself.

Q. re: partitioning disk for performance
(the problem with FAT16 is that the bigger the drive, the more space is lost through inefficient block sizes etc, so if you partition it, you gain space...)

disk partition question
Depends on what kind of repartitioning you want to do. ;^) To resize an existing partition, you will need third-party software, like Partition Magic. But, Win2K's own Disk Management can delete existing partitions and create new ones. Recently, I combined 3 (of 4) logical volumes in my extended partition into one;
