Subject: Installing on second disk
Date: Wed, 26 Jul 1995 12:36:50 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19950726163650.H8atpsBFarkR7xS4EvWi99wNHZlZZTz6RK5lTj3EXoI@z> (raw)
I have a Gateway PC (486/66) with two 400 MB (IDE) disk drives. I'd
like to install plan9 on the second drive (hd1) but retain there a
modest DOS partion (D:). If I install the 4 disk "trial" system using
the orignal "prep", all goes well and I have a system I can boot from
hd1, except that, should I run DOS/Windows again, the D: partition is
gone (the partition table has been destroyed, presumably). It doesn't
matter if I partition the disk with the D: partition at the start or
end of the disk. On the other hand, if I try the same things using the
new prep, prep complains with
error 23: Not enough room for boot area
Aside from the notion of moving most of what's on C: to D: and installing
plan9 on C:, can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong or what I might try?
Richard
