[comp.sys.ibm.pc] MS-DOS 3.20 FDISK & WINDOWS 2.0/386

tuan@ge1cbx.UUCP (Tuan Nguyen) (01/20/88)

I have a '386 PC with an 80 Meg hard disk which was nicely partition into 3
parts C:, D: and E:.  After installing WINDOWS 2.0, I try to run EXCEL and
saving data on drive D:, but for some peculiar reason, EXCEL does not
recognize that I have partition D: and E:.  A call to Microsoft tech-support
revealed that they've changed the way WINDOWS 2.0 work and it is no longer
compatible with FDISK (which I've used to partition the disk).  Has anyone
experience this problem??? Does anyone know if MS-DOS 3.30 will fixed this
problem?? Also is there anyone who know of a third party disk-partition
software (like SpeedStore(sp?)) that will work with WINDOWS 2.0.  It seems
to be a waste for having such a nice environment and not being able to
access the whole disk.  BTW- WINDOWS/386 has the same problem.
