Hello, there is a "fdboot.img" floppy drive image included with FreeDOS ISO file. It's a floppy image file: root at debian64:~# file -s /home/martin/FreeDOS/isolinux/fdboot.img /home/martin/FreeDOS/isolinux/fdboot.img: x86 boot sector, FREE-DOS BEta 0.9 Bootloader KERNEL.SYS, code offset 0x40, OEM-ID "FreeDOS ", sectors/cluster 2, root entries 112, sectors 720 (volumes

Hi, I bought a 16GB Transcend JetFlash V10 yesterday and am trying to put the fc8 livecd on it (after filling it up with all sorts of other junk :) I've only plugged it into an fc8 machine (from unopened) - nothing else. I also have a Toshiba U3 2GB USB. The OS is fc8 fully updated except the kernel (2.6.23.15-137.fc8) the livecd-iso-to-disk uses the command "syslinux -d syslinux

Hey list, I have an older 2005 Uniwill 259ia3 with a Phoenix bios. Flash booting is limited to keys 512 MB or less! Here's my setup recipe: used the HP utility v. 2.0.6 giving me this geometry ---------------- fdisk -l ----------- Disk /dev/sdb: 493 MB, 493879296 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start

I downloaded DOS6.22 image from putergeek.com. Used fdisk from that floppy and format from that floppy. Still no luck. If I execute fdisk under leaf (monkeynoodle.org) as fdisk/dev/hdc, and give p for print partition table, I get the following: Disk /dev/hdc: 16 heads, 32 sectors, 123 cylinders. Units = cylinders of 512 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdc1

Hi, somehow after a power failure i can't mount my ext3 partition :( mount /dev/hdd2 /mnt/gentoo/ mount: you must specify the filesystem type fdisk /dev/hdd The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 484521. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2)

Hi, I just bought a Seagate 1TB USB drive thinking that I could create a few partitions in it, format in ext3 fs, then configure bacula to setup a backup server in my CentOS box and backup my windows and mac clients. I have plugged the drive and mounted in /mnt/usbdrive and is seen as /dev/sdb1 by the OS. The output of df command is: [root at Production ~]# df Filesystem 1K-blocks

Hello all, I have 2 x 250GB sata disks (sda and sdb). # fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 14939 119997486 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda2 14940 29878

Hey guys, I need to use iostat to diagnose a disk latency problem we think we may be having. So if I have this disk partition: [root at uszmpdblp010la mysql]# df -h /mysql Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/MysqlVG-MysqlVol 9.9G 1.1G 8.4G 11% /mysql And I want to correlate that to the output of fdisk -l, so that I can feed the disk

I would like to boot FreeDOS ISO image from USB memory stick using syslinux. I have done following: 1) I created a partition to my 2GB memory stick: root at debian64:~# fdisk -lu /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 2013 MB, 2013265920 bytes 62 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1022 cylinders, total 3932160 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size

I try two ways to use syslinux for USB key (2GB USB key), and one approach can boot from machine, another approach can not. Could you review the following steps and tell me why #2 can not boot? Thanks very much! approach #1 steps: mkfs.vfat -F 16 -n USB /dev/sdb -I (pay attention, it uses "-I" here) syslinux /dev/sdb (pay attention, it is "sdb", not "sdb1" here)

I have a 1.5TB internal disk on my server. I partitioned this with fdisk, and CentOS-5.6 runs perfectly on it. But fdisk gives a very strange report. Here is the perfectly normal response to mount: ----------------------------- /dev/sdb10 on / type ext3 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/sdb2 on /boot type ext3

I would like to boot Ubuntu 8.04 i386 from my USB flash drive. I was guided by this tutorial: http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/HowTos#How_to_Create_a_Bootable_USB:_For_Linux I took following steps: 1) made sure that usb_storage.ko kernel module is loaded root at martin-desktop:~# lsmod | grep -i storage usb_storage 39585 1 root at martin-desktop:~# 2) inserted USB flash

Hi. I added a disk to a hardware raid 5 array and now i want to expand the LVM physical volume. There are now 4 sas 146GB disks in the server.

I have just finished creating an array on our new enclosure and our CentOS 5 server has recognized it. It shows as the full 6tb in the LSI configuration utility as well as when I ran fdisk: [root at HOST sbin]# fdisk /dev/sdb Note: sector size is 2048 (not 512) The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 182292. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in

Semi-OT? I just got a new SanDisk 8GB flash drive, and, as usual, it came with the U3 software (for Windoze) on a "CD" partition and considerably less than 8GB on the disk partition. I put it into my WinXP portable and told U3 to delete itself, but I still can't get at the old U3 part of the drive. I've tried WinXP's format command, disk management and CentOS's fdisk,

How can I mount an old LVM drive into a new system so I can view the old files?
