Finally, here's the output from 'partsx' :

Joe.

Everything looks normal. H: should have worked properly.
Were you running my Patched IO.SYS when you ran PARTSX or the working version?
Either way, switch to the other one and rerun PARTSX.

The above was with the combined (working) patches.

With the non-working patch, I get the following :
D010:0000  A  DR=00  OFF=00000000 FLG=FFFFFFFF
D010:0096  B  DR=01  OFF=00000000 FLG=FFFFFFFF

I believe the following combination of Partitions caused the problem

1. On Drive #1 you have a Type 5 Extended Partition.
2. The last Logical Partition in this Extended Partition is Non-DOS.
3. On Drive #2 you have a Type 0xF Extended Partition.
4. The Logical Partition in this Extended Partition is DOS.

It is a rather improbable combination but I have revised my Patch so it should cover it.
Try the attached Patch on an Unpatched copy of IO.SYS and boot with the Patched IO.SYS
Test all of your Partitions and run PARTSX again.

EDIT: This Patch has been revised and has been tested.

IMPORTANT: Four copies were downloaded before 7:15 PM EST. Do not use these copies are they do not cover all cases.

REEDIT: The Patch did not correctly handle Windows ME and has been removed. A new Patch will be posted shortly. Patches to IOSYS 7 are fine.

I see no one listens. Four people downloaded the experimental PATCHPAR I posted earlier.

I said not to download it before it was verified. I have already redone it.

@jds: If you already downloaded it, redownload the newer copy in my previous post and use it instead.

Well, Mr Loew,

I've just downloaded and this one works properly for me.

Jumping the gun a bit, but it should be OK as long as you weren't one of the four who downloaded it before 7:15 PM EST

I am removing the previous versions from the Forum as they do not cover all possible configurations of Partitions.

Hi, Joe!
I'm glad the latest installment of RLoew's patch worked OK for you.
But, just for completeness, would you please post the output of partsx while using it?
Thanks in advance! :yes:

Hi Den,

Sure :
D010:0000  A  DR=00  OFF=00000000 FLG=FFFFFFFF
D010:0096  B  DR=01  OFF=00000000 FLG=FFFFFFFF
D010:012C  C  DR=80  OFF=0000003F FLG=00000001
D010:01C2  D  DR=81  OFF=0000003F FLG=00000001
D010:0258  E  DR=82  OFF=0000003F FLG=00000001
D010:02EE  F  DR=80  OFF=0000003F FLG=00F30001
D010:0384  G  DR=80  OFF=0000003F FLG=01F80001

D010:04B0  I  DR=82  OFF=0000003F FLG=028E0001

Curiously, the OFF and FLG entries for drives F, G and I are different with this patch than with the trusty old combined patch. In both cases however, all the drives behave normally and pass a standard SCANDISK test.

Joe.

Noted. I may have to PM future experimental programs to the intended users.

Joe.

The combined Patch used Phellum's patches to force LBA processing. When Logical Partitions are processed as LBA, the OFF field is the actual starting point of the Partition and the FLG field contains 00000001.
My Patches do not include his, so CHS processing is still enabled. When Logical Partitions are processed as CHS, the OFF field is relative to a Start Cylinder. The MSW of the FLG field is this Start Cylinder.
Your F:, G: and I: Logical Partitions are CHS.

The problem with my older Patch is that it didn't cover your case where the Linux Partition on Disk #1 was processed as CHS and then Discarded. The Start Cylinder leaked into the FLG field for the next Partition processed, your H: Partition. If you compare the PARTSX outputs from my old and new Patches you will see the difference. I identified a similar problem and fixed it with my earlier Patch, but you uncovered another one.


I have corrected the problem with Patching the unpacked Windows ME IOSYS 8 and attached it here.

Attached File(s)
