Hope it helps. See attached file. WinXP screwed up the codepage, but I can fix that. FWIW, it's better to force dfsee to use ASCII output if you must run on WinXP. The line draw characters have different codes in different codepages. >Be aware, though, that the listing shows 4 disks... the "4th disk" is >actually a SmartMedia reader, so ignore it. No problem. I've seen these often enough. >In looking closer at disk 2, using FDISK with a Warp diskette bootup, I >now see some things that appear to be problems to FDISK that aren't >shown by dfsee, namely some "extra partitions" (see below). Any idea how >I can get FDISK to see the drive the way dfsee does? Probably by undoing what you did to confuse Warp's FDISK. I suspect you moved primary partition with PM. This often gets the partition alignment out of kilter. However, I won't know fror sure until I see full dfs query output. >The 3 interspersed freespaces are errors... but, how to correct them? I'm not sure yet. This might be a job for Jan. He does these kinds of fixes all the time. >add SCSIWarp to the boot manager on disk 1. They may also be the reason >that PQMagic doesn't show the scsi partitions, although I'm not nearly >as certain of that. It's always possible. FWIW, these kinds of problem often occur when using multiple partiton tools to create partitions.
