I've used rawrite2 with NT without problems. I have administrator privileges on the NT box that I'm using though. (Maybe that's important for writing to the floppy drive through DOS under NT? I wouldn't think so, but I don't know.). I also use a DOS program named hd-copy (search for it on the w

128M memory

1998-10-07 Thread Default Debian Reader
I was wondering when you use lilo to manage your boot do you need to add the line append = "mem=128M" to your win95/98 partition for it to use the memory beyond 64k or is this only needed when a linux partition is booted?
