Booting from a diskette
If Disk Manager installs the dynamic drive overlay (DDO) to access the full capacity of your drive, the DDO must load into memory before the operating system loads. This occurs automatically when you boot from your hard drive (drive C). However, if you boot from a diskette, the DDO will not be loaded and you will not be able to access your hard drive. The following procedure allows you to boot from a diskette and still access your hard drive. Boot the computer from the hard disc (with no diskette in the diskette drive). When the Disk Manager banner appears on the screen, immediately press the SPACEBAR (you have about 2 seconds). Insert your boot diskette and press the SPACEBAR again. If you boot from a diskette regularly, you can create a Dynamic Drive Overlay boot diskette. It loads DDO into memory and then loads the operating system. See the Disk Manager online manual for more information about creating a dynamic drive overlay boot diskette.

Supported operating systems
The Disk Manager dynamic drive overlay provides support for drives that have capacities greater than 528 Mbytes under MSDOS, Windows 3. x, Windows 95, Windows NT 3. 51, Windows NT 3. 50 (requires DM upgrade drivers), OS/2 V3. 0 (Warp full pack), and OS/2 V2. 03. 0 (requires DM upgrade drivers). Before you install a non-DOS operating system on the drive, install DOS and Disk Manager and make sure that the drive is bootable. Instructions for running the dynamic drive overlay with other operating systems are available in the Disk Manager online manual.
Removing the dynamic drive overlay
If Disk Manager installs a dynamic drive overlay (DDO) and you do not need this software to access the full capacity of your drive, you can remove the dynamic drive overlay without losing your data. However, you will lose access to the full capacity of your drive unless you have another method for accessing highcapacity drives (see Addressing drive-capacity limitations on page 11).
!
Caution. Before you attempt to remove a DDO, make a backup copy of all the data on your hard drive. Also, run CHKDSK, SCANDISK or a third-party equivalent to detect and repair any damaged files before you follow the procedure below. If the DDO migration program encounters a serious file problem or is interrupted by a power loss or hardware failure, the migration will fail and your data will be lost.
Medalist 17240, 13030, 10231, 8420 and 4310, Rev. B Follow these instructions to remove a DDO from a drive. Insert your DiscWizard diskette into drive A. Select the Select Installation Options Menu.

Select (M)aintenance Menu. This program moves the data on your drive so that it can be accessed without the DDO. [. . . ] Back up the data on your drive before shipping the drive. Seagate assumes no responsibility for data lost during shipping or drive repair.
