Very Computer

I've a big problem with harddisk D. As it's a 850 Mbyte drive, I must use
a MS-DOS driver (EZ-Drive) (cannot be used with Linux). But I want to use
a part of drive D for LINUX, so I have to create at least two partitions
(one for DOS and one for LINUX). Unfortunately it is not possible with to
do so with EZ-Drive, so that Linux could be installed.

Who can help?

It's urgent!
                                                Thank You!  :-)

my System:

INTEL 80386/80387, 8 MByte RAM

Harddrives:     C: Western Digital Caviar (MS-DOS)
                        (no problems)
                D: Conner CFA 850 A:
                850 MByte (1652 Cyl., 16 Heads, 63 Sect.)
                IDE-Controller

                (DOS and LINUX)
                     ---

                using EZ-Drive as driver for 528+megs Support

Go into BIOS set your drive up like it says 1652,16,63

Go into Linux, and run fdisk,
Delete all partitions on drive 2 (Conner 850meg one)
Make an new extended partition from cylinder (start) 1 to cylinder (last)
1652, this way your hole drive is usable under linux.

 Then make a DOS logical drive (type 6) from cylinder 1 to whatever..
 (or do it as DOS logical drive, from cyl 1 to a size of +XXXMeg)
 (max ending cyl of 1023)

  **THIS DOS LOGICAL DRIVE MUST NOT GO ABOVE 1024 cylinders **

 Then make the rest a Linux logical drive,
 from cyl XXX (defaul this is the ending cyl of dos logical +1)
 to last cyl (1652)

 so hitting 'p'

should now so

/dev/hda1  ( WD C: )
/dev/hdb5  (conner D: under dos)
/dev/hdb6  (Linux Native)

As far as i now you must have the linux Boot partition on /dev/hda
But I could be wrong. :)

Also, the boot logical drive for linux must be under 1024 cylinders aswell.
So I would look at getting hold of something like FIPS and spliting your DOS
partition on the WD drive, then makeing a smallish boot prtition for linux
there.

Hope that helps :)
