Re: [Freedos-user] Determining partition types (NTFS, etc)
Determining partition types (NTFS, etc) Please excuse my 'newbie' question... I'm considering setting up a dual-boot (or more) system. How do I determine what type partition my system has? Hopefully I'll end up with both FreeDOS Linux on the same drive. Thanks for your patient support.

Re: [Freedos-user] Determining partition types (NTFS, etc)
I recomend that you use Parted magig: http://partedmagic.com/, it will tell you everything about your partitions Your FreeDOS partition should be vfat and pimary, that is numbered 1 to 4. And it has to be set primary in order to boot. And it will work best if it is the first primary partition. This may be a problem with an existing Linux instalation BE VERY CAREFULL not to change partition order, grub will get lost. It can be fixed editing /boot/grub/menu/lst in rescue mode but it is really not obvious at all.

Re: [Freedos-user] ot: turning up the pc speaker?
Hi, I use English, Canadian, and wish to turn up the internal speaker volume. I have seen enough to suggest that there here was some command for this. With some DOS screen readers, that speaker is used for indications. With some laptops, it can even be used for the speech output itself.

Karen Seriously Karen, there is no such general DOS tool/command, and I am using DOS since the PC-DOS 1.10/MS-DOS 1.25 days. As far as plain DOS is concerned, there are exactly two volume settings, off and on, as it is only programmable through manipulating bit 1 of I/O port 61H. The only thing that can be adjusted (crudely) is the frequency by using I/O ports of the Intel 8253 PIT at 42h-43h. In case of a system with a piezo based squeaker, you are even severely limited for that. There might be make/model specific functionality for manipulating the volume by manipulating the voltage applied to the speaker, but that is nothing that DOS in general knows squat about and usually is a hardware (BIOS) function only...

[Freedos-user] ot: turning up the pc speaker? Does anyone remember the dos command to accomplish this ? NO. There is none. I use English, Canadian money ??? and wish to turn up the internal speaker volume. For both more or less or ZERO volume, there are only hardware solutions. http://michaelgellis.tripod.com/audioamp.html I have seen enough to suggest that there here was some command for this. Evidence please :-) With some DOS screen readers, that speaker is used for indications. With some laptops, it can even be used for the speech output itself. NOT only with laptops. -- ~~~ wow ~~~ -- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
