Bug_zs Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 January 10, 2012Dear Forum, I'm jumping from Windows 98SE to Windows 7 and having a problemusing Norton's Ghost with 7. I'm sure getting the answer to these four questions will lead me on a pathto success:First, this is my new box's Hard Drive.........1 TB Hitachi 7200 RPMPre-partitioned by Bootable CD of "EaseUS Partition Master Pro v9.0", which isa 2012 version of good old DOS's "Partition Magic".http://www.partition-tool.com/professional.htmC: 75 Gigs NTFS Windows 7D: 25 Gigs NTFS Program FilesE: 15 Gigs NTFS Used for making 4 Gig+ DVD filesF: 600 Gigs Fat32G: 30 Gigs Fat32 Ghost ImagesH: to M: 3 to 30 Gigs in size, all Fat32.1. What is the maximum size partition that DOS, from a Windows 98SE boot disk, can see?2. Is there a newer version of DOS out there, perhaps from a Windows ME boot floppy, or Windows XP?3. When I used Partition Master, after the Primary 75 Gig C: was made, I could have gone two different routes... A: Make the balance of the HDD an "Extended Partition" and then make D: to M: all "Logical Drives" within that "Extended Partition". B: Make the balance of the HDD, D: to M: ALL "Logical Drives". Which is the proper way to go?4. With the C:, D: and E: being NTFS, when I boot the HDD with a floppy boot disk and get the A: prompt, if I type C: and hit enter, will I get a C: prompt that in actuality will be the F: drive? Thanks in advance for all of your help. Bug_zs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no room to make them Primary Partitions.4. Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
