I tried to use EADFS without much success, ie. PartMan produces strange results if I try to use it on any EADFS partition (both 6, a RISC OS disc, and 7, a DOS disc/empty partition) and corrupts EADFS if I try to use it on the ADFS partition (which is the first EADFS partition also). >From what I can tell, EADFS uses a RISCiX partition table stored at the beginning of the disc (the bootblock seems to point here), this is the dump: 00000000 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 70 12 00 : .............p.. 00000010 : 00 00 00 00 52 69 73 63 4F 73 3A 00 00 00 00 00 : ....RiscOs:..... 00000020 : 00 00 00 00 10 71 12 00 F0 BE 2B 00 00 00 00 00 : .....q..ï¿½+..... 00000030 : 52 69 73 63 4F 73 3A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 : RiscOs:......... 00000040 : 40 33 3E 00 C0 04 22 00 00 00 00 00 44 4F 53 44 : @3>.ï¿½.".....DOSD 00000050 : 69 73 63 3A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 39 60 00 : isc:.........9`. 00000060 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 52 69 73 63 4F 73 3A 00 : ........RiscOs:. 00000070 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 39 60 00 00 00 00 00 : .........9`..... 00000080 : 00 00 00 00 52 69 73 63 4F 73 3A 00 00 00 00 00 : ....RiscOs:..... 00000090 : 00 00 00 00 00 39 60 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 : .....9`......... 000000A0 : 52 69 73 63 4F 73 3A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 : RiscOs:......... 000000B0 : 00 39 60 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 52 69 73 63 : .9`.........Risc 000000C0 : 4F 73 3A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 39 60 00 : Os:..........9`. 000000D0 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 52 69 73 63 4F 73 3A 00 : ........RiscOs:. 000000E0 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 : ................ 000000F0 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 : ................ 00000100 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 : ................ 00000110 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 : ................ 00000120 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 : ................ 00000130 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 : ................ 00000140 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 : ................ 00000150 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 : ................ 00000160 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 : ................ 00000170 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 : ................ 00000180 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 : ................ 00000190 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 : ................ 000001A0 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 : ................ 000001B0 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 : ................ 000001C0 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 : ................ 000001D0 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 : ................ 000001E0 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 : ................ 000001F0 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 2B : ...............+ 00000200 : : If I boot ARMLinux, it doesn't seem to recognise any partition on that drive so I immediately gave up. What should I do now? I bought this disc mainly for running ARMLinux but I don't want to waste a lot of space by formatting it in a single (2Gb) RISC OS partition. Russell, if you want to experiment with my disc just send me any code (even if dangerous!), I cannot do anything with the disc until I know if I can use it this way so I am really desperate. If ARMLinux could recognise a partition called 'Linux:' or something similar in the RISCiX partition, then I can simply get rid of that 'DOSDisc:'...
