[comp.sys.ibm.pc] wanted - rules for setup of disk partition table

davew@ssc-vax.UUCP (David A Wilson) (08/05/87)

I have an IBM pc/xt with a 20Mbyte disk. I am using Venix 1.0 on it
with existing applications, but currently only using 10Mbytes of the
available disk space. The Venix installation only knows about 10Mbyte
disk drives, and so it sets up the partition table on the disk based
on this assumption. I would like to find out the rules for computing
the fields in the partition table, so that I can modify the installed
partition table accordingly. The last entry in the partition table
is not currently used, I would like to be able to set it up to use the
remaining 10Mbytes of disk space.

Any information will be appreciated,
