See the Disk Manager online manual for more information about creating a dynamic drive overlay boot diskette. 20 Medalist 1722, Medalist 1012, Rev. B Supported operating systems The Disk Manager dynamic drive overlay provides support for drives with capacities greater than 528 Mbytes under MS-DOS, 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 10). ! 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 1722, Medalist 1012, Rev. B Follow these instructions to remove a DDO from a drive. Insert your Disk Manager diskette into drive A. Select the Select Installation Options Menu. 21 7. This program moves the data on your drive so that it can be accessed without the DDO. The migration may take up to an hour to complete, depending on the size of your drive. When the migration program has finished, exit Disk Manager. Remove the diskette and reboot the computer. Enter your system setup program (see your system manual for details). Configure the hard drive with the Cylinder/Head/Sector parameters shown for your drive in the table on page 9. Save your changes and exit the system setup program. 10. When your computer has rebooted, insert the Disk Manager diskette into drive A. Type A:\dm and choose the Maintenance Menu. When the uninstall is complete, exit Disk Manager and reboot.
