B 21 Advanced Disk Manager options The Disk Manger online manual Disk Manager contains an extensive online manual. This manual includes detailed installation instructions, troubleshooting and a list of master/slave jumper settings for many popular hard drives. To view the Disk Manager online manual, insert the Disk Manager diskette into drive A and type A:\DM /H. You can also view the online manual from within Disk Manager by selecting (V)iew/Print Online Manual in the main menu. Booting from a diskette If Disk Manager installs the dynamic drive overlay (DDO) to access the full capacity of your drive, the DDO must load into memory before the operating system loads. This occurs automatically when you boot from your hard drive (drive C). However, if you boot from a diskette, the DDO will not be loaded and you will not be able to access your hard drive. The following procedure allows you to boot from a diskette and still access your hard drive. Boot the computer from the hard disc (with no diskette in the diskette drive). When the Disk Manager banner appears on the screen, immediately press the SPACEBAR (you have about 2 seconds). If you boot from a diskette regularly, you can create a Dynamic Drive Overlay boot diskette. See the Disk Manager online manual for more information about creating a dynamic drive overlay boot diskette. 22 Medalist 8641, 6531, 4321 and 3221, Rev. B Supported operating systems The Disk Manager dynamic drive overlay provides support for drives with capacities greater than 528 Mbytes under MS-DOS, Windows 3. x, Windows 95, Windows NT 3. 51, Windows NT 3. 50 (requires DM upgrade drivers), OS/2 V3. 0 (Warp full pack), and OS/2 V2. 0­3. 0 (requires DM upgrade drivers). Before you install a non-DOS operating system on the drive, install DOS and Disk Manager and make sure that the drive is bootable. Instructions for running the dynamic drive overlay with other operating systems are available in the Disk Manager online manual. Removing the dynamic drive overlay If Disk Manager installs a dynamic drive overlay (DDO) and you do not need this software to access the full capacity of your drive, you can remove the dynamic drive overlay without losing your data. However, you will lose access to the full capacity of your drive unless you have another method for accessing highcapacity drives (see Addressing drive-capacity limitations on page 11). ! Caution. Before you attempt to remove a DDO, make a backup copy of all the data on your hard drive. Also, run CHKDSK, SCANDISK or a third-party equivalent to detect and repair any damaged files before you follow the procedure below. If the DDO migration program encounters a serious file problem or is interrupted by a power loss or hardware failure, the migration will fail and your data will be lost. Medalist 8641, 6531, 4321 and 3221, Rev. This program moves the data on your drive so that it can be accessed without the DDO. The migration may take up to an hour to complete, depending on the size of your drive. Configure the hard drive with the Cylinder/Head/Sector parameters. 7.
