Seeking Old Overlay for Quantum Hard Disk Drive
Hi,
I have a portable Compaq 386 computer I use for data logging. It uses a standard size HDD. Before I removed a Quantum 750M HDD from an old desktop PC, I partitioned it with two partitions, one 520M and the remainder was used for the second partition. Each partition was formatted and a MSDos 6.2 OS installed. Of course, the 520M partition is the "active" partition. I removed the HDD and installed it in the 386 computer. The BIOS cannot "see" the second partition. I have searched the web for older overlays, but I couldn't find any. Note: A new overlay will not "run" in this old 386 computer. Thanks in advance, Brad Before you type your password, credit card number, etc., be sure there is no active key logger (spyware) in your PC. |
