"Overlay" Information
 

Hi,

I removed a 750 meg hdd from a computer, which was partitioned into two
logical drives (520 meg and 230 meg). I installed it in a 1988 Compaq 386
computer with Dos 6.22. Bios can not "see" above 520 meg, therefore I
can not access the 230 meg partition. Is it possible to use an "overlay" in
the 386 computer? Where is a good place to find one? I never used an
"overlay" before. Any information will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Brad

although you can download drive overlay software from the website of some
harddrive mfgs such as maxtor or western digital...it probably won't do you
any good because you need to install it *before* you add an operating
system to the drive
