ARTICLE-ID:Q94334
TITLE :Using MS-DOS 6 Upgrade Fdisk Program with EXTDISK.SYS
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
If were using COMPAQ MS-DOS version 4.0 or later before you upgraded
to MS-DOS 6.0, and you are using EXTDISK.SYS, you should use the
COMPAQ version of the Fdisk program. If you were using COMPAQ MS-DOS
version 3.31 or earlier before you upgraded to MS-DOS 6.0, and you are
using EXTDISK.SYS, you should contact Compaq for an updated version of
EXTDISK.SYS.
More Information:
Some COMPAQ systems use a driver called EXTDISK.SYS to access
secondary disk drives. This driver is MS-DOS version dependent. If you
use the MS-DOS version of Fdisk when EXTDISK.SYS is loaded, Fdisk
displays incorrect drive letters for the hard disks attached to the
second controller.
Workaround
----------
You can work around this problem by using the COMPAQ version of Fdisk.
To install the old version of Fdisk:
1. Delete FDISK.EXE from the DOS directory.
2. Copy FDISK.* from your COMPAQ MS-DOS disks to your DOS directory.
For example:
copy a:\fdisk.* c:\dos
3. Add Fdisk to the SETVER.EXE version table for your version of
COMPAQ MS-DOS. For example:
setver fdisk.exe 4.0
4. Restart your computer.
Note: You must use SETVER to tell EXTDISK.SYS that you are using a
previous version of MS-DOS. For more information, query on the
following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
MS-DOS and SETVER and EXTDISK.SYS
