This is an update to a message I posted on June 29, 2002, about DR-DOS 7.03 being unable to access extended partitions. At the advice of Matthias Paul (many thanks to Matthias), I replaced the DR-DOS 7.03 IBMBIO.COM with that from DR-DOS 7.05, and was then able to see the FAT and FAT32 logical drives in the extended partition. However, I had to stop the DISPLAY.SYS and ANSI.SYS from being loaded, otherwise the system would not boot up. I haven’t looked into the implications of these drivers being not loaded. I have tentatively chosen to use a boot disk with DR-DOS 7.05 IBMBIO.COM (and DR-DOS 7.03 COMMAND.COM and IBMDOS.COM) to view the logical drives. This is just to reduce my chances of accidentally doing something to the logical drives that would hurt my Windows XP system and installed software which are on the logical drives. At least I now have a way of viewing the FAT and FAT32 drives under DR-DOS. I was advised by Matthias not to use the DR-DOS 7.05 IBMDOS.COM. Kim-Gau
