asked on

is it necessary to add iastor to the Dell booot Config.sys?

I have a Dell Vostro 1710 with two 160 GB hard drives with the first with one NTFS partition and the second with two equal 80 GB partions - the first NTFS and the secdond FAT32.  A normat boot disk shows only one drive "C:" which is the FAT32 partition.  How do you properly creat a Dell boot disk which shows all partions?

Thanks

Helo!

I think you are making a DOS boot disk. DOS nativly can only access FAT and FAT32 partitions.
If you want to access your ntfs partitions from DOS, you need to use third party software.
