[Freedos-user] MS Network Client slow performance under FreeDOS

2007-12-25 Thread Marton
ime!" message, and the systems halts. This comes from the get_near_f_node(void) function in fatfs.c What happens if I disable that warning? Will I get data loss even if I try to READ from the disk while it is writing stuff that comes from the network card? TIA, Marton -- View this message in

[Freedos-user] Strange: Directory utility which does not work under FreeDOS

y... Any clues?? If I use it on a floppy disk, it works perfectly under FreeDOS. It just doesn't work with C: Does anyone know of a similar program which works under FreeDOS? (it must support FAT32 like LFNSort) Many thanks in advance, Marton -- View this message in context: http://www.n

But DOS 7+ is LBA, right? It works like a charm there... If the partition is at sector 0, ScanForPrimaryPartitions gets 0 as the startSector. This is in most if not all cases, right? Well if the tool moves it to sector 1 and tells FreeDOS that the partition is there, and FreeDOS recognizes the par

Well, I did some research on everything and found the cause of the problem. First, I confirmed that what the tool does is this: 1) The partition table is moved from sector 0 to sector 1 2) Some code is written to sector 0. This code asks for a password and if you fail, you can't boot. I found th

The tool basically moves the partition table to somewhere in the track 0 area. When you put the hard disk as slave, you can't access it (It's a neat protection). When it boots, it temporarily unhides the partition so the OS can see it and boot, and then hides it again. With any version of MS-DOS e
