Using Third Party Disk Partitioning Software with MS-DOS 5.0 (72568)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 5.0
This article was previously published under Q72568 SUMMARY
The Microsoft MS-DOS 5 Upgrade has the ability to directly upgrade
partitions created by many third-party disk utilities. If Setup is
unable to upgrade your partition, first look in the README.TXT file
under "Disk Partitioning Software" for specific information. The
message
Incompatible partition detected
appears if the Setup program detects an incompatible partition.
MORE INFORMATION
The following is information specific to using Disk Manager or
Speedstor to access the hard drive:
Disk Manager Device Drive DMDRVR.BIN
You need a new version of DMDRVR.BIN if the Setup program detects and
reports an incompatible partition. The Microsoft MS-DOS 5 Upgrade
includes an updated version of this driver. If the Setup program is
unable to upgrade your partition, look at the README.TXT file under
the section titled "Incompatible hard-disk partitions" for
instructions to install the new driver.
Speedstor Device Driver SSTOR.SYS
If the Setup program detects and reports an incompatible partition,
you must use the updated Speedstor device driver included with the
MS-DOS 5 Upgrade. However, if your system has Micro Channel
architecture such as found in IBM PS/2 machines, contact your vendor
for an updated driver. For instructions on installing the updated
device driver, look in the README.TXT file under the section titled
"Incompatible hard-disk partitions."
