Re: [Cooker] still no go on hd.img (another recent rsync)
it just "sounds like" the hd.img is "itself" hiding the partition. if, when installing from the iso cdrom (like now) it will infact pop up an error stating something "cannot see hdd partition table" but i've found out this has to do with an error someplace in one of the partitions for which i solve by resizing each on to find the error thru pm5 (or ver. 4). pain in the but process, but i don't feel like deleting 20 gb of data just to install linux (no offense). once this process is complete or i know there are now errors because the iso cdrom (install process by using the cdrom install) can see the partition tablehd.img will still fail to "see" the partitions. augghh...it would be s much faster to install via hdd instead of burning the cdrom...athough i should have a copy just incase On Mon, 21 Feb 2000, you wrote: On Mon, 21 Feb 2000, Roger wrote: lol, i've got roughly 20 gb of data on it. ..unless i can borrow an extra 20gb drive from somebody??? lol no i did not have to use that s/w. matter of fact all newer hdd's do not require that (or cannot even use it). most of the hdd's or already preformat It isn't the drive but the bios that has the problems, that would require translation software.

Re: [Cooker] still no go on hd.img (another recent rsync)
also, just burned iso2 of 7.0 and the problem with the install not seeing the partition table is solved.as previously stated, the reason for iso2 of 7.0 of course. so this appears, again, specific to the hd.img (diskette) again.

Re: [Cooker] still no go on hd.img (another recent rsync)
not really cause i got the drakx finding all partitions. (that was teh bug in the partitioner prg in drakex - or whatever). i've always, consistantly tried using the hd.img quite often..it's just being a pain in the butt program. mmm...never had a maxtor. mmm...i'll try that.

Re: [Cooker] still no go on hd.img (another recent rsync)
Hi Roger I need to ask you how you partitioned your hard drive. Because if you partitioned your hard drive through the western digital software, it is unlikely your unix based operating system (Linux) will be able to see. My advice is to see whether you can reformat it with DOS. Let me know if this helps. If this was not the case, then I am sorry I will not be able to help you.

More specifically, if you get a message at boot time to "Press CTRL to boot from floppy", you need to do so. If you're booting straight to floppy or CD-ROM, you're not loading the HD translation software provided by WD. -Original Message- Hi Roger I need to ask you how you partitioned your hard drive.
