CHS for Thinkpad 390i
I've lost the CHS for an IBM Thinkpad 390i, 4.1 GB.
Could anyone, please, publish the corresponding numbers? Thanks in advance. Alf. |

Do NOT use CHS, leave it AUTO.

CHS for Thinkpad 390i
unfortunately, it doesn't work (msg: 'no operating system'); also it
doesn't recognize the hd if booting from floppy, i.e. msdos 6.22 with system files. that's why i was trying to switch to 'user' and CHS. |

Maybe the disk is defect? Arno |

DOS 6 will not see FAT32. Use DOS 7+. that's why i was trying to switch to 'user' and CHS. Run "findpart tables" (www.partitionsupport.com). It will compare the CHS in MBR and boot record, and report if different. |

Thank you very much to all who replied.
"Eric Gisin" : Use "fdisk /status". DOS 6 will not see FAT32. Use DOS 7+. it's a FAT16 partition, an msdos boot floppy should see--as long as the MBR is intact or the harddrive doesn't exceed 2 GB. Run "findpart tables" (www.partitionsupport.com). thanks, i'll try. Alf. |
