Re: Simmons SDX Boot From Hard Drive

2008-04-24 by superwolle70

As far as I remember (about 2 years ago) the OS needs its own
partition. So somehow you have to make at least 2 partitions and copy
the OS on one of these. During the copy process you might get weird
alerts. But the second try often works :-)
And don't forget to copy protect you OS floppies!!!!!

partition. I guess I could try to configure it in 4 equal partitions.
