I have an IBM AT with a PRIAM V-185 hard disk installed (drive type
12). I had been using a DOS 3.2 parition in the first 32 mega-bytes
(cylinders 0-549). In order to install Advanced Netware 286 on the
disk I wished to reduce and move the DOS partition to cylinders (550-853).
After I created the Netware parition in cylinders 0-549 I found that
DOS FDISK would not allow me to create a DOS partition beginning at
cylinder 550. FDISK failed with the error message "no space for
partition". I understand that bare PC-DOS cannot create a partition
larger than 32 MB but I was surprised to see that FDISK would not allow
me to create a smaller partition (11 MB) starting just beyond the 32 MB
limit.
Have I forgotten something?
If possible, please reply by mail as our news feed is somewhat intermittent
these days.
Thank-you.
