[comp.sys.ibm.pc] MSDOS 4.01...

gord@geac.UUCP (Gord Armstrong) (05/04/89)

With regards to previous postings about MSDOS 4.01. If I partition
my 'C' drive for 32meg, will it be compatible with disk utilities
meant to work with DOS 3.3 and under or is the FAT incompatible?

Are there any other known bugs with 4.01?

Help appreciated.

I don't think this answers your question, but this is my experience w/ DOS 4.01

     I formatted  a hard disk using DOS 4.01 with a primary partition of 40M
and a second partition of 275M.  I then descovered that some of my application
(namely win386 ver? and PC Net ver1.0) wouldn't run using the new DOS, so I reformatted
the 40M partition and installed DOS 3.30 PLUS on it.  Now I have a 41M parttion
and a 275M partion.  Will I have trouble with the FAT?

P.S. I didn't try to reformat the 275M partion; should I?
