Hi

I have a hard disk that comes from an old PC under Windows and I want to move its important datas pluging it into the Pegasos. The partitions are not recognized ... Do you know a tool or things to do to mount these FAT partitions ?

You need these lines in the DEVS:DOSDrivers/PCx (x is the partition you want to mount, C for first, D for second, etc) and the fat95 filesystem file in L:.
Don't forget to modify the Device and Unit lines!


/* Mountfile for PC HD's */
Device = ide.device
Unit = 1
Flags = 0
BufMemType = 1
Mask = 0xFFFFFFFE
Maxtransfer = 0x20000
Filesystem = L:fat95
Stacksize = 4096
Globvec = -1
Buffers = 200
Control = "+s"

Surfaces = 1
BlocksPerTrack = 1
Lowcyl = 0
Highcyl = 1
Blocksize = 512

Dostype = 0x46415401

You mix up CrossDOS and FAT95! For CrossDOS you chose partitions by the third letter in the DosDrivers name (0,1,2,3 = use entire disk, C = first partition, D = second partition etc.) while the DosType is always the same. For FAT95 cou can name the DosDriver as you like, no need to call it "PCx". You choose the partition by the DosType here. Read the docs for more information. IIRC is was 0x464154xx with xx=00 -> use the entire disk (e.g. floppy disk), 01 -> read MBR and use first partition, 02 -> read MBR and use second partition, and so on.

Bye,

Thank you, GK_LKA and Thomas, that seems to work. I have to check how many partitions I have with the disk in the PC but now 2 partitions mount on the Pegasos !

This important disk is no more unused !

@Thomas:

You might have right :) I don't use FAT disks for a while and this file was from my old system. Yes, here is one of the largest adventage of AOS (and -clones): you install your system in 1998, update when some new thing comes out and use the same system without real reinstall (I mean no need to reinstall programs, core OS, etc.) in 2004... :)
