[comp.unix.msdos] Second dos partition on the harddisk

sridhar@caboom.cbm.dec.com (Pete Sridharan) (04/09/91)

	Runs SVR 3.2 and dos 3.3
	Runs Simultask (a.k.a VPIX) under UNIX
	Hard disk 1:    180MB (80 % UNIX and 20% DOS partition)
	Hard disk 2:     110MB 

  I am able to access the Dos partition on Disk 1 while ruuning native
dos and also under
  Vpix without any problem.  I have the following two questions:
     	- is it possible to make dos understand a second dos partition
made on Hard disk 2.
	    (I could make a physical dos partition on the second hard-disk but
I have problems
	     making dos - in native mode - recognize the second dos partition on the 
	      second disk).
	 - is it possible to make vpix recognize the second partition on the
second disk?

   Any suggestions or input on this will be very much appreciated. 
    Thanks in advance.
