Subject:  Re: [os2genau] 1:1 cd FIXED

Hi again Ed,

I managed to fix the problem.  I installed 0.52 which 1:1 copy works, but MP3 conversion 
doesn't.  So I replaced the MP3 convert files (.exe and .res) with the 0.51 version and 
now it seems everything is the way it should.

I do get some warning messages from 1:1 copy, but it does do the job (at least at the 
test burn level anyway).

Thanks again
G

Hi All,

Are there such a beast for the chipset in my Gateway to drive the PC Card (PC Cardbus)
slots?

It would make the make connectivity a bonus :)

Hmm,  yes "test burn" worked for me as well, but the on-the-fly copy failed for me when I
tried a real copy. I'm using v 0.52 but haven't tried the audio-ripping/MP3 features yet, so
thanks for the tip.

Cheers/2

Well Voytek,

  You've had more success with combining LVM and Windows than I did !

  I tried to install Win98 onto a spare 1GB LVM partition starting straight after the boot
manager. It totally screwed LVM. I had expected to have to de-install and re-install boot
manager but the Win98 install so corrupted the partition table, that I could even remove and
recreate partitions. Luckily I was able to zip the partitions up onto another drive and the key
to fixing the problem, believe it or not was to use FDISK on a Warp 3 boot diskette. it seems
the old FDISK is much more brutal in its actions that LVM is (or FDISK under DOS or Windoze).
I've had to use these Warp 3 boot diskettes before to fix otherwise unusable drives that have
only ever had windoze on them. Once all partitions were deleted from Warp 3, LVM behaved itself
again I was able to re-partition the drive, install Win98 and then re-install boot manager.

I'm in the process of restoring the OS/2 partitions at the moment. Once I had simply unzipped
the C: drive I was able to boot and start things such as e-mail as I restored the various
drives.

The reason for installing Win98 in the first place was to see if starting this Soltek
motherboard under Windoze would enable the on-board USB ports and it did. I now have all four
VIA USB ports working under OS/2. Previously only the off-board ports worked.

My Win98 partition is working fine, including My Computer etc. But I have it installed now as a
Primary (hidden from OS/2) C: drive partition, whereas it was a logical partition previously.
Your partition is a primary also, so it ought to be OK.

What version of Win98 are you using ? I use Win98 SE, which has several fixes and additions over
the basic WIN98.

Apart from that I don't know why you would have this strange effect. i'd probably suggest format
and re-install on FAT (I think you're only forced to FAT32 when you go over 2GB).

I believe Henk Kelders FAT32 IFS is the only way to read FAT32 drives. I think it supports write
as well however I don't think there's been much development on it lately. I used to use it on a
previous dual-boot system.

Cheers/2

Ed.

If the cards are TRUE Cardbus (ie 32 bit) and not PCMCIA/PCCard (16bit), they should work
without any socket services as they will look simply like PCI adapters. Often they will
use the same drivers as a desktop PCI card with the same chipset.

Hi Greg,
A 32bit CardBus or quality memory-mapped 16bit card should cost you
under $80 s/h for a 10/100 flavour.

Sunday 8th I'll be going to a computer flea-market, if you are unable
to find something that isn't just for Windoze by then, let me know.

Hi Daz,

long time, been busy this end.

Just to clarify, the ricoh chipset is inside the notebook, if what ed states and my machine can
see the card as a PCI then I should fine

Its the card bus _slot_ and not the card I am after :)

cheers
