我刚做了一个可直接启动的移动硬盘(我的主板为845G,支持USB-HDD),但在使用过程中碰到以下问题:
1.首先在使用超级通用MS-DOS启动盘 V7.10启动后输入"ADDEV DUSE.EXE DRIVES=2"命令后,可识别移动硬盘.但在使用FDISK对该硬盘作了删除分区后重新建立DOS分区并设定为激活后退出(尚未格式化),返回查看该移动硬盘,居然DIR发现该移动硬盘原文件仍存在,且硬盘容量由原来的2G变成了8G,后进入FDISK中查看也显示该移动硬盘容量为8G.
2.在上述操作后,启动WINDOW 98SE,发现该移动硬盘不可访问后对其格式化并传送系统文件后,查看显示该移动硬盘容量仍为8G,重启WIN98可直接使用该移动硬盘作启动盘.
3.再次启动WINDOW 2000 Service Pack3,发现用WIN2000不能格式化该移动硬盘且显示容量为未知容量,但在控制面板计算机管理--磁盘管理中可正确识别该移动的容量为2G.
经试验,最后解决方案如下:
1.启动Window 2000 Service 或 Window XP Professional,在控制面板计算机管理--磁盘管理中对移动硬盘删除原所有分区后重建分区且标为活动分区,然后可成功格式化此移动硬盘.
2.再次启动Windows 98,在格式化硬盘选项中选择"仅复制系统文件",一切大功告成,此刻使用此移动硬盘便可直接启动系统.(注意不能在DOS下使用SYS传送系统文件)
其它:FDISK及PowerQuest PartitionMagic 8.0对移动硬盘支持不太好,分区过程中会出错,祝各位也能早日拥有一个移动硬盘启动盘,对于装新机方便不少.
I have just made a directly bootable external hard drive (my motherboard is 845G, which supports USB-HDD). But I encountered the following problems during use:
1. First, after booting with the Super Universal MS-DOS Boot Disk V7.10 and entering the command "ADDEV DUSE.EXE DRIVES=2", the external hard drive can be recognized. But after using FDISK to delete the partitions of this hard drive, re-establish a DOS partition and set it as active, then exit (not formatted yet), when I return to check this external hard drive, actually the original files of the external hard drive still exist, and the hard drive capacity changes from the original 2G to 8G, and then entering FDISK to check also shows that the capacity of this external hard drive is 8G.
2. After the above operation, booting into WINDOW 98SE, I found that this external hard drive is not accessible. Then I formatted it and transferred the system files, and checking shows that the capacity of this external hard drive is still 8G. Restarting WIN98 can directly use this external hard drive as a boot disk.
3. Starting WINDOW 2000 Service Pack3 again, I found that WIN2000 cannot format this external hard drive and shows that the capacity is unknown capacity, but in the Computer Management - Disk Management in the Control Panel, the capacity of this mobile can be correctly recognized as 2G.
After testing, the final solution is as follows:
1. Boot into Window 2000 Service or Window XP Professional, delete all original partitions of the external hard drive in the Computer Management - Disk Management in the Control Panel, then re-establish partitions and mark them as active partitions, and then this external hard drive can be successfully formatted.
2. Boot into Windows 98 again, select "Only copy system files" in the format hard drive option, and everything is done. At this moment, using this external hard drive can directly boot the system. (Note: Do not use SYS to transfer system files under DOS)
Other: FDISK and PowerQuest PartitionMagic 8.0 do not support external hard drives well, and errors will occur during the partitioning process. I wish everyone can also have an external hard drive boot disk soon, which is quite convenient for installing a new computer.
