Yea I know it's a DOS question but I have to impress the boss with my
prowess.
Scenario:
Off brand Intel DX2, 400 MB C: drive, CD ROM, 8 MB RAM. I need to install
a 1.7 Seagate ST31720A. 1.7 MB, best I can do is a 504MB D: drive and I
loose the CD. I suspect the BIOS cannot handle this. American Megatrends
1992 - 1993. Used fdisk from dos 6.20 and 6.22 and the BIOS driver.
Started out wih 20MB and now have 504. This is a 1.7 GB drive. It is
installed as a D: (slave) drive. Startup is a Western Digital 400 MB w/
dos 6.20. Win 3.1 with Norton desktop (which I forgot how to kill, tired
the win.ini and the system.ini??)
Lets see, what else, 8MB RAM, Soundblaster card, MS Mouse driver. Tried
all the built in formatting options.
Help??
On A Mac - just set the SCSI ID and go.
