[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Trouble with large partition and DOS 4.xx

Hi,
I have been trying to change dos, from 3.30 to 4.01, and when
I'm at it also change the size of the dos partition. (from 32M to 44M)
This has however been a total fiasco.  The computer just wont boot from
the HD.  I have tryed several combinations with FDISK, FORMAT and
DISK MANAGER (form both dos 3.30 and 4.01) but the respons is usually
just the ROM-BASIC starting up, or a message saying "Invalid Partition Table"
I was under the impression that one could have partitiones larger than 32M
with dos 4.xx but now I might have to reconsider.
Anyway I would appreciate any help and/or hint with this problem.
