Okay, if boot from DOS (and with no Ontrack DM installed)... here's the output from pfdisk 0 (the 850MB Ontrack DM DOS Drive) and pfdisk 1 (540 MB FreeBSD drive) # Partition table on device: 0 geometry 1024 16 63 (cyls heads sectors) # ID First(cyl) Last(cyl) Name # start, length (sectors) 1 84 0 1652 unkno # 1, 1666223 # note: last(1): phys=(628,15,63) logical=(1652,15,63) # note: first(1): phys=(0,0,2) should be (0,1,1) 2 0 0 0 empty # 0, 0 3 0 0 0 empty # 0, 0 4 0 0 0 empty # 0, 0 # Partition table on device: 1 geometry 1022 16 63 (cyls heads sectors) # ID First(cyl) Last(cyl) Name # start, length (sectors) 1 165 0 1052 unkno # 63, 1061361 # note: last(1): phys=(1023,15,63) logical=(1052,15,63) 2 0 0 0 empty # 0, 0 3 0 0 0 empty # 0, 0 4 0 0 0 empty # 0, 0 --------- Now if I boot from the hard drive with Ontrack DM's dynamic drive overlay installed... # Partition table on device: 0 geometry 826 32 63 (cyls heads sectors) # ID First(cyl) Last(cyl) Name # start, length (sectors) 1 1 0 825 DOS12 # 63, 1665153 2 0 0 0 empty # 0, 0 3 0 0 0 empty # 0, 0 4 0 0 0 empty # 0, 0 # Partition table on device: 1 geometry 1022 16 63 (cyls heads sectors) # ID First(cyl) Last(cyl) Name # start, length (sectors) 1 165 0 1052 unkno # 63, 1061361 # note: last(1): phys=(1023,15,63) logical=(1052,15,63) 2 0 0 0 empty # 0, 0 3 0 0 0 empty # 0, 0 4 0 0 0 empty # 0, 0 So it appears that nothing changes on the 540MB drive that doesn't use Ontrack DM. So any ideas?
