Yes. Use a disk manager. It will install a tiny overlay before the OS boots and that will allow you to use arbitrarily-large disks without problems. (Probably not with Linux, but with DOS, Win9x, OS/2 and maybe even NT). OnTrack's version is now freeware: https://www.philscomputerlab.com/ontrack-disk-manager.html There are alternatives such as EZDrive: https://www.philscomputerlab.com/western-digital.html More info: https://www.rigacci.org/docs/biblio/online/firmware/diskmgr.htm Just be careful using boot disks -- you need the disk manager on your boot disks too. Boot from a non-disk-manager disk and writing to the drive *will* corrupt it. -- Liam Proven – Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk – gMail/gTalk/gHangouts: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn/Flickr: lproven – Skype: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 – ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053 _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
