I installed PCDOS on a 10 gb drive in my new TP 600E by using
Partition Magic to create extendeded partitions. I put DOS
in the first 1.9 gb primary partition. Boots fine and can see
all the other partitions OK. Might be possible to use FDISK
for this function too. (I am running PCDOS 7/Win3.1 and OS/2
on this machine using dual boot.)
I have the entire process documented; should anyone want I can
send privately.
