Is there such a thing? I'd like to upgrade a couple of drives to a couple of new drives and need all four of my IDE ports to do so. Do I need an LBA48 floppy boot disk to do this, or can I use the Mfs Tools Boot Floppy?
hmmm.... that is a good question. pretty sure that no such thing exists and that the mfstools boot floppy is not lba48.
here's a thought --- do the upgrade in two stages -- boot with the nonlba48 floppy and just do a straight mfstools copy from one set to the other, and then boot with the lba48 CD for your expansion. of course, this assumes that your two existing drives are non-lba48...
alternatively, if your existing drives ARE > 137GB, you can dd them to your new drives, one at time, using the lba48 boot cd. then go do your expand after you have both new drives connected....
