[NCLUG] RE: Hard Disk Configuration

[John Purser]

Just rebooted to an MS-Dos 6.2 Disk and ran Fdisk.  The output is (Rotated
to format):

Partition:		1		2
Status:		A
Type:			Non Dos	Ext Dos
Volume Label:
Megabytes:		55		3219
System				3
Usage:		1%		100

Looks like I've got about 3 gigs in an extended Dos partition.  I had
installed a workstation install of Red Hat 7.0 earlier but that went in on a
brand new disk.

Suggestions?

Did you partition the drive or did you receive it this way? Is there another
partition that isn't formatted/mounted? You can run fdisk or cfdisk to check
things out. Just make sure you don't write any changes to the disk.
