Peter, I'm afraid you're dealing with a real dummy here.... I couldn't
figure out a mode command that was acceptable for my 1280x1024 display, kept
getting an error on it. But, I did manage to run and put the output listing
to a file (see below). Didn't mean much to me, it did not seem to show any
errors.... but, it only looks at IDE drives and my OS/2 is resident on a
scsi drive.
I have one IDE hard drive, on the first IDE master, a Quantum Bigfoot 4.5 gb
drive with 5 partitions holding Win95 (C: not used when OS/2 is booted), a
very old OS/2 D: drive ("hidden" with PQMagic) and 3 extended area fat
partitions (E: F: G:) for my data and programs. This is the drive that came
with my system, I added an Adaptec 50-pin 2940 scsi adapter later.
I have an ide Matshita cdrom K: on the second IDE master;
I added scsi-2 to my system some time back simply because I wanted to try
scsi, which I'd heard was faster/better than IDE.
I have two IBM scsi hard drives: my OS/2 operating system is on a 7200rpm
1gb scsi D: dedicated drive formatted hpfs, the second is 7200rpm 4.5gb and
has my previous OS/2 D: partition, which is currently "hidden", and 3 more
extended area fat partitions (H: I: J:) that are only occasionally used for
backups of programs and data).
Here is the dani diskinfo output (edited slightly to remove unused m/s
entries):

How is this done? (I don't even know where they're kept) What if I need them
back, do I then need to do a boot from diskettes to move them?
