Hi all

Er dette stadig 'lov' ??

2.2 CANNOT MARK A PARTITION INSTALLABLE

There is a BIOS restriction that installable (startable) or bootable
partitions must be contained within the first 1024 logical cylinders
of
the disk. This is true for both EIDE and SCSI hard disk drives. If
FDISK fails to allow a partition to be marked installable, the
partition
is either above 1024 cylinders or the partition spans the first 1024
logical cylinders of the disk. Use FDISK to reduce the size of the
startable or bootable partition by sufficient MBytes. One way to
calculate the correct partition size is to do the following:

_ _ _ O / _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
O \ C U T E N D

S† denne stadig skal bruges:

4. Calculate the 1024 cylinder size in MBytes as ( H x S ) / 2.
(round
down).

Ja og det gælder for stort set alle OS'er du kan installere på din
putter. Nogle omgås dog kravet ved fx kun at lægge boot-delen under den
1024. cyl. og resten andetsteds.

Det ændres ikke før du anskaffer dig en 64-bit maskine

God week-end til alle (nørderne)

Er der er ingen hw-leverandører, der omngår dette? Det er jo et problem i
BIOS.
