| Issue |
My hard drive partition (Windows 95) is of type 11. Dosfsys does not recognize it. But, Dosfsys recognizes my other Windows 95 partition. This partition is type 6. What's happening?
|
| Solution |
The type 11 is a Fat 32 partition while type 6 is fat 16. The partition (type 6) was most likely formated 16 bit (Fat16) before installing Windows 95 on the system. This is why Dosfsys recognizes the partiton.
Since Dosfsys does not recognize Fat32 partitions, it will not recognize the other partiton (type 11). We have a new beta driver called Fatfsys which will recognize the Fat32 parition. If you want the new beta version, please send an email to beta@qnx.com. In the email, ask to join the beta.qnx4 group. |
