251607 -    1.  Got back tonight after being gone another week and tried the
251608 -        boot disk.
251610 -  ..
251611 - Wayne responds to the letter, ref DIP 3 0001, submitting instructions
251612 - on 040411 for using the floppy disk Gary sent earlier. ref SDS 5 VY3L

251614 - submitted. ref SDS 5 5F9P

251619 -    2.  Seemed to boot up okay on Drive A: and started to load
251620 -        Driveworks (screen with Driveworks logo and loading, please
251621 -        wait), then got message:
251623 -         ..
251624 -    3.  CRC error reading Drive A:
251625 -
251626 -        Abort, Ignore, Retry, Fail?
251628 -         ..
251629 -    4.  Retry just generated the same message.
251631 -         ..
251632 -    5.  Abort leaves you booted to Drive A: then I tried to execute
251633 -        drivewks manually--that just got me back to the same message.
251635 -         ..
251636 -    6.  Not sure if this is a disk problem or a problem due to some
251637 -        difference between my system and yours.
251639 -         ..
251640 -    7.  Any suggestions?
251641 -
251643 -  ..
251644 - Yesterday, when Millie and I got back from visiting down South in
251645 - Nipomo, called Gary about responding to Wayne's letter on 040416, per
251646 - above. ref SDS 0 S49K  During the call, Gary made some suggestions.
251648 -  ..
251649 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to Gary confirming his suggestions for
251650 - helping Wayne recover from an apparent defective boot disk prepared by
251651 - Gary for using Driveworks to partition a hard disk, which is needed in
251652 - order to create logical drives to install SDS.
251653 -
251654 -    1.  Per our telecon this afternoon, ref SDS 0 FP5O, here are the
251655 -        ideas gathered from our discussion for responding to Wayne's
251656 -        letter dated 040416, ref SDS 0 S49K, reporting problems with
251657 -        the boot disk you submitted previously, ref DIT 1 0001, and
251658 -        discussed in a letter to Wayne on 040411. ref SDS 5 VY3L
251660 -         ..
251661 -    2.  I understand from our telecon, that you feel some files on the
251662 -        boot disk may have gotten corrupted during transit, and this
251663 -        resulted in the error message Wayne reports getting,
251664 -        ref SDS 0 EO3Q, when he tried to use the floppy disk you
251665 -        submitted. ref DIT 1 K47F
251667 -         ..
251668 -    3.  You suggest that Wayne try the following remedy...
251670 -         ..
251671 -        Copy the files you submitted previously on the web for
251672 -        Driveworks to the floppy disk....
251673 -
251674 -             C>copy \drvwks\*.* a:\
251675 -
251676 -        ...where c:\drvwks is the directory that Wayne created to store
251677 -        the files downloaded a few weeks ago from the files you put on
251678 -        the web. ref DIT 1 A67O
251680 -         ..
251681 -    4.  I checked the files downloaded from the web which you put out
251682 -        there for Wayne, a few weeks ago. ref DIT 1 R69I
251684 -         ..
251685 -    5.  There is a directory called "floppy" which has 2.12 MB, which
251686 -        seems too big to put on a 1.2 MB floppy.  Did you use new
251687 -        floppy that has more capacity than 1.2 MB, so that 2.12 can be
251688 -        copied the floppy disk you sent to Wayne? ref DIT 1 N99N
251690 -         ..
251691 -    6.  Actually, I notice this directory has the file drvwrk.zip which
251692 -        is 969K, and so deducting this number from 2.12 suggests this
251693 -        stuff will all fit on a 1.2 MB floppy disk. ref DIT 1 U94J
251695 -         ..
251696 -    7.  This directory called "floppy" has a file dos4g.exe and
251697 -        drivewks.exe, plus a number of .sys files.  I think this is the
251698 -        stuff you want Wayne to copy back onto the floppy disk.
251699 -        ref DIT 1 344O
251701 -         ..
251702 -    8.  Would it help if he ran chkdsk on the floppy to try and detect
251703 -        and correct any defects? ref DIT 1 G45J
251704 -
251705 -             C>chkdsk a:
251707 -         ..
251708 -    9.  I put the files in the floppy dir back on the web in dir 10 and
251709 -        subdirectory "drvwrks", so that Wayne can download them again,
251710 -        if they somehow got lost. ref DIT 1 N46H
251712 -         ..
251713 -   10.  Wayne may get this letter tonight and might try this approach
251714 -        and let us know if it works. ref DIT 1 W46M
251715 -
251717 -  ..
251718 - Received ref DRT 2 0001 dated today from Wayne, saying...
251719 -
251720 -    1.  I tried several things last night.  I downloaded again the
251721 -        driveworks stuff on Rod's FTP site in Dir 10 and copied to a
251722 -        floppy disk.  Of course that doesn't work without the boot disk
251723 -        stuff on the floppy also. ref DRT 2 0001
251725 -         ..
251726 -    2.  I tried copying the files to overwrite the drivesworks files on
251727 -        the boot disk I got from Gary.  That didn't work either.  Same
251728 -        result as before, e.g. "CRC error reading Drive A:  Abort,
251729 -        Ignore, Retry, Fail?". ref DRT 2 FG6F
251731 -         ..
251732 -    3.  I tried detect and repair from the XP utilities on the boot
251733 -        disk (I don't have a DOS prompt on my computer anywhere, so I
251734 -        couldn't use C>chkdsk A:).  That got about halfway through and
251735 -        hung up (drive A was making read/write noises continuously, but
251736 -        no progress on the bar that shows progress for about 10
251737 -        minutes).  From the repetitious nature of the noise, it sounded
251738 -        like it got to something it couldn't figure out and just kept
251739 -        retrying to do it unsuccessfully.  Bottom line-still no
251740 -        progress. ref DRT 2 ZG6K
251741 -
251743 -  ..
251744 - Submitted ref DIT 2 0001 to Gary asking for further ideas on using
251745 - Driveworks with a boot disk...
251746 -
251747 -    1.  Wayne's letter this morning, ref SDS 0 IG3O, reports results
251748 -        from trying the ideas I submitted based on our telecon
251749 -        yesterday. ref SDS 0 P19T  I may not have explained things
251750 -        correctly.  Off hand, Wayne's results indicate either a
251751 -        defective disk or a problem with the a: drive on his computer.
251752 -        Sounds like he ran a procedure equivalent to chkdsk and scan
251753 -        disk, and it detected unrepairable defects. ref DIT 2 0001
251755 -         ..
251756 -    2.  Wayne's report seems to indicate the 2nd step he tried was
251757 -        close to what you suggested yesterday, copying the files for
251758 -        driveworks to overwrite the files, ref SDS 0 P19T, on the boot
251759 -        disk, which you submitted previously. ref DIT 2 5V6I
251761 -         ..
251762 -    3.  Wayne's report that XP does not provide access to a DOS prompt,
251763 -        ref SDS 0 IG53, does not sound correct, but maybe that is the
251764 -        case.  Since we purchased XP the other day, but have not yet
251765 -        installed, I am a little hesitant now to install XP.  What has
251766 -        been your experience on this? ref DIT 2 UV6N
251768 -         ..
251769 -    4.  Please submit a copy of any ideas you can submit to Wayne at
251770 -        the above addresses toward getting things to work.  By copy,
251771 -        letting Wayne know that in our telecon this morning from the
251772 -        hospital, you talked about investigating XP further to see if
251773 -        there is way to partition the disk without using a 3rd party
251774 -        program, like Driveworks.  If we can do this it will be a big
251775 -        help.  As I recall W2K Help for partitioning the drive does not
251776 -        discuss 3rd party software to create a primary and secondary
251777 -        partitions, but that may be explained in another section.
251778 -        ref DIT 2 2W7K
251780 -         ..
251781 -    5.  In any event, please let Wayne know the time table when you
251782 -        follow up, i.e., later today, tomorrow, Wednesday, etc.

2521 -
252101 - Called Gary.
252102 -
252103 - He is checking XP now to see if there is a way to create an extended
252104 - partition.
252106 -  ..
252107 - While he reviewed XP, I looked at W2K, which is close to XP stuff on
252108 - this issue.
252110 -  ..
252111 - We concluded there is nothing expressly that says how to create an
252112 - extended partition in Wayne's situation.  We found instructions on
252113 - making an extended partition, but it was restricted to a primary
252114 - partition where the the system files and boot files do not exist.
252115 - Since Wayne's computer has only a C: drive it contains the system and
252116 - boot files, so it would seem that situation is not conducive to using
252117 - XP and W2K system methods for creating an extended partition.
252119 -  ..
252120 - Further review suggests that once the extended partition is created,
252121 - then after opening the Disk Management section, explained in the
252122 - record on 040411. ref SDS 5 IW6J
252124 -  ..
252125 - As a result, of not finding clear guidance on using XP commands to
252126 - create an extended partition, Gary formatted another floppy disk, and
252127 - copied the Driveworks files onto the floppy disk.  He will mail it to
252128 - Wayne tomorrow.
252130 -  ..
252131 - We further considered that Wayne might try the following steps...
252132 -
252133 -    1.  Copy the files from driveworks onto a floppy disk formatted
252134 -        using XP.
252135 -
252136 -    2.  Put the boot disk Gary submitted and boot the computer.
252138 -         ..
252139 -    3.  When the A> drive comes up, remove the floppy disk used to the
252140 -        boot the computer, and install the floppy with the files
252141 -        copied under step 1.
252143 -         ..
252144 -    4.  Try executing driveworks.
252146 -  ..
252147 - Wayne can send me his telephone number at home via return email; and I
252148 - will call him this evening at home to step through these steps, and
252149 - then the steps for creating the logical drives.
