Question about OS/2 and Extended Partition Booting
SYS statements would not work, and the system wouldn't boot. So BootMan is not changing the active partition only if primary is booted ? This could cause havoc of course. Like when booting Windoze95 from FAT32 partition. Currently AiR-BOOT v0.28b does the following, when booting logical partitions: a) Marking the

Problem setting up NT 5.0 with NT 4.0
It just automatically boots into XP, unless I hit escape to hit my bios boot menu, and select that third hard drive to boot from. Based on what I had read beforehand, I had expected to get the boot menu option to boot into either OS, and was surprised I did not. When I am in XP, the Vista partition shows as " L

Question about OS/2 and Extended Partition Booting
I never told anyone "how" OS/2 BootMan behaves...that's why the topic of this thread is: "Question about OS/2 and Extended Partition Booting". I recommend you help him "code", then you will appreciate the task at hand, anything less, and that's just an armchair quarterback talking. ;-) I can't imagine how you could

File system full corrupts grub boot process
If you set the startable flag for another partition, the MBR will execute the boot code for that partition, not Boot Manager. Actually, Mike (and I hate to support Martin although I am sure he doesn't know this anyway since he has filtered my posts) there is ONE situatiion where the OS/2 MBR *does* ignore the

Partition Reorganization
And, each partition has a "partition boot sector". Have you tested booting into Vista via a Win 98 MBR? Yes, I tried it with one of the Vista Release Candidates and Note te disk signature belongs to the boot-partition and the 3 bytes at 01B5-01B7 belongs to the IPL. The disk signature can you find back in the

Information is what is in the parentheses for each partition on each hard drive. Do this from what ever system you boot to when you have your boot priority the way you want to leave it.

Question about OS/2 and Extended Partition Booting
The questions: Why is that the Windows 98 and 95 Boot Disks cannot see the small FAT partition? Why is that, after booting Windows 2000, only the Windows 2000 partitions can see the FAT32 partition? I have no idea as to the former. As to the latter, it would seem to me that W2K is somehow altering the partition

problem with system partition booting

Question about OS/2 and Extended Partition Booting
Most of the time every primary is "start/bootable", so all partitions should have that flag. But it's *active* because that primary is supposed to be *active*. OS/2 calls it Startable. Try FDISK and see. Like the "BIOS executes boot-record code", "oh nonsense...it gets executed indirectly". Great. The MBR is a boot

Question about OS/2 and Extended Partition Booting
It is a complete replacement for the MSDOS style partitions. It stores its information in a 1MiB journalled database at the end of the physical disk. The size of partitions is limited only by disk space. The maximum number of partitions is nearly 2000. Any partitions created under the LDM are called "Dynamic Disks"

The attack being described by the cite would be performed by booting to an alternate media of the attackers choice.

Question about OS/2 and Extended Partition Booting
But the BIOS never does execute any boot-record code on harddrives. Yes, the BIOS executes the MBR code, so it only indirectly loads a partition boot record. But then the BIOS would be indirectly loading a file-system driver, because it loads the MBR, this loads the Boot-record, this loads the kernel or another

Installed Vista dual boot, think I screwed up!
In this case the Solaris label is intact & the PC partition table is intact, but the primary boot block was blown away, so grub doesn't even start to load this time. The Solaris partition is in cylinders 1 - 10199 w/ the root filesystem slice in cylinders 2043-3017 and swap in 3-767. I assume those "cylinders" are

The MBR is a boot record. It gets executed by the BIOS. It's a master Boot Record.

What DOS/Win calls the "active" partition is in fact the partition

RAID0 performance marginally better than single drive?
Go install OS/2 in one primary partition, then go install Win9x in another primary partition. Win9x will deactivate the bootmanager like it was nebtioned before. Now, Go read the MBR from 000...1FF. Use the Win9x FDISK, or use the OS/2 install disks to re-enable the OS/2 bootmanager. After you have done this, boot
