Steven,

Thanks for pointing to this utility.

On the troubled 600E, EXTDISK run from a Win98 command prompt reports
that INT13H extensions ARE supported.

I cannot set installable using eCS 1.1 Installer New Volume function
the H (HPFS) partition, created with Partition Magic 5. It reports it
is above the 1024-cylinder limit.

What now please?

Jeffrey Race
