[Discussion] DOS Critical Error

[Brian Grawburg]

Boot Manager is Primary
The first 'real' partition is primary, all others are logical.
The customer bought the drive because he couldn't get an 80 (my recommendation) and because the OS/2 system will
be replaced within a year by a Windows system. (Have to do because the laboratory software only runs on Windows).
He said the difference in cost between an 800 GB drive and a 500 was minimal so he selected the larger.

Some additional background.

I accidently deleted at the data on another drive and tried to recover (using DFSEE) the data to the last partition on the drive
in question.  The recovery went well for about 150,000 files and then I began to get errors in DFSEE saying it couldn't find the
directory to save the data to - it was there.

I have been trying to save files to this drive/partition/folder and can't do it except to the root. I've tested it with short file names and long.
