MS Dos dont see 3rd Partition

mode etc.). Raw DOS on a separate disk/partition might have the problem. Yes, I'm booted from raw dos. I always start my Win98 computer in raw dos, so I can access my very old Dos based "Rapid File" database, which contains all my phone contacts. That way I dont have to wait for Windows to load to get a phone number. All I have to do is type "WIN" to start windows, which is fine! Anyhow, the problem is in raw dos! With MSDOS, you should be looking at the two configuration files for evidence. http://www.vfrazee.com/ms-dos/6.22/help/lastdrive.htm Paul My LASTDRIVE is set as Z. I've done that since the Windows 3.x days, (or was it Win95???). Because I always have used many partitions. I always configure CD or DVD drives as drive O. (they're round like a letter "O"). that way the dont get stuck in between drive partitions and confuse things. |
