I have a Jaz drive on a Advansys SCSI card. I would like to run
Linux off of a Jaz disk. I don't know how to partition the disk.
I am running Win95 and can not get the DOS fdisk to access the Jaz
drive. The Linux fdisk thinks the disk is one big DOS partition
and will not let me change it. Has anybody done this who could
give me some advice on what I should be doing?
If what I should be doing is reading the HOWTO, please let me
know which one.

Thanks,

Ken K

Is it by chance the tools cartridge - the one that came with the
drive and contains the Dos/Windows tools? If so, it is write
protected and you are expected to load the Dos software to unlock
it. I'm not sure if a way around this has been found, maybe
someone else can help on that. My tools cartridge arrived with
nothing on it, which was just fine with me, because I didn't have
to deal with this problem.
