Supported operating systems
The Disk Manager dynamic drive overlay provides support for
drives with capacities greater than 528 Mbytes under MS-DOS,
Windows 3. x, Windows 95, Windows NT 3.51, Windows NT 3.50
(requires DM upgrade drivers), OS/2 V3.0 (Warp full pack), and
OS/2 V2.0–3.0 (requires DM upgrade drivers).
Before you install a non-DOS operating system on the drive, install
DOS and Disk Manager and make sure that the drive is bootable.
Instructions for running the dynamic drive overlay with other oper-
ating systems are available in the Disk Manager online manual.
Removing the Dynamic Drive Overlay
If Disk Manager installs a dynamic drive overlay (DDO) and you
do not need this software to access the full capacity of your
drive, you can remove the dynamic drive overlay without losing
your data. However, you will lose access to the full capacity of
your drive unless you have another method for accessing high-
capacity drives (see Addressing drive-capacity limitations on
page 11).
Caution. Before you attempt to remove a DDO, make
!
a backup copy of all the data on your hard disc. Also,
run CHKDSK, SCANDISK or a third-party equivalent to
detect and repair any damaged files before you follow
the procedure below. If the DDO migration program
encounters a serious file problem or is interrupted by a
power loss or hardware failure, the migration will fail
and your data will be lost.
