DOS 5.0 hath no knowledge of FAT32. Only DOS 7.0 and up. (i.e. Windows 95) If you're serious about only wanting a working drive, download this handy boot disk which will restore your drive to an Fdisk-able state. I always keep a copy of DBAN sitting around in case I should need it. _______________ Saving the world, one kilobyte at a time. |

K, Orion, got a small problem! My partition allocations on my FAT32 Maxtor 60gb drive have become corrupted, and two separate partitions have been assigned the same space on the drive. As a result, I can install nothing, etc. All I want is to have a working drive again. I've spent hours fiddling in DOS (with my handy MS-DOS 5.0 ORIGINAL MANUAL  ) using FDisk and such tools but to no avail.Ideas? _______________ Website |

Well, basically I used a MySQL database back-end, and I used M$ Access to process the data via queries and make the graphs. As for converting the log files I used AWK to filter out unnessary stuff so I got hold of a log file with usefull information and made it ; separated. Then I used some batch files to import it into the MySQL db. And the whole things automated via Delphi (ShellExecute). _______________ Get on your feet and do the Funky Alfonzo! |

Hey guys, I've got a kinda weird problem going on, I can play this game on my own pc without having a problem but when I (after I installed it correctly) booted the game up at my brothers pc (with the correct cd blah blah blah) it gave me a warning saying my screensize was recommended to be 1280 * 1024. It did so while turning the entire screen black apart from one white colored pop-up, so I can't change the options or see something in any way. Help would be greatly apreciated Thanks in advance _______________ -Nero Quote: Curious, Smartass, what else? |
