From: eeron@techunix.technion.ac.il (Ron Daisy) Subject: Interaction between the DOS and Linux partition - a problem. Date: 29 May 1992 10:51:13 GMT
I installed Linux on a 80Mb HD on a part of about 20Mb.
(The partition was 60M for DOS and 20M for Linux)
When I loaded DOS and type dir, I saw that there is about 80Mb
free space on the HD. (There was no program installed on the DOS
part at that time)
When I added some stuff to the DOS part (about 60Mb stuff)
and later try to load Linux I have got "kernel panic".
My question is:
Is there interaction between the two parts of the partitioned
HD?
Why do DOS "see" ~80Mb free space even if its part is about 60Mb?
What can I do to prevent DOS to invade to the Linux part?
(My machine is 386 dx 40MHz )
Wating for an answer...
Thanks a lote.
