5. Are there any OS limitations of RecoveryEasy?
RecoveryEasy supports current operating systems such as DOS, Windows 95/98.
However in Windows NT, Windows 2000, Unix and OS2 systems, users should notice
that the disk tools bundled in the OS could change the mirror partition. On the other hand,
since users can create partition with RecoveryEasy, it is unnecessary to use other disk
tools.
6. Why does the remainder size plus partitions size not match the total size
shown in RecoveryEasy sometimes?
When the location of partitions is not continuous, the above problem exists.
7. Are there any other disk partition tools that can modify the partition table made
by RecoveryEasy?
RecoveryEasy provides a write-protect function, so the disk tools such as Fdisk, Partition
Magic, BootMenu, SmartDisk and BootStar can not modify the partition table created by
RecoveryEasy. Some of the applications even terminate during operation. However the
disk tools bundled in the OS such as Windows NT, Windows 2000, Unix and OS2 could
change the mirror partition.
8. Why does it happen that a prompt
installation can not continue
pops up
when installing Windows98 or a yellow exclamation mark shown beside IDE
device in system properties?
During Windows 98 installation, the installation program will write to MBR (Master Boot
Record) which is protected by RecoveryEasy, therefore the installation will be terminated.
To avoid this problem, a ATTRIB PAR button is provided in Recovery User Interface.
Enable this switch before installing Windows 98, then the installation will be success
fully completed. In order to remove the yellow question mark before IDE devices in
Device Manager, enable this switch once more after system reboot.
9. Why does the converting of FAT16->FAT32 in PQ Magic go wrong?
MBR will be accessed when converting FAT16 to FAT32 with PQ Magic, which is pro
tected by RecoveryEasy, therefore the conversion will be invalidate. Enabling the ATTRIB
PAR switch from Recovery User Interface before converting can avoid this problem. Its
the same situation as FAT32 Converter provided in Windows 98.
10. What if partitions be wrongly deleted in RecoveryEasy?
If users delete a partition in RecoveryEasy by mistake, they can save it by pressing the
Reset button on their system at once. Do not press the ESC key to quit RecoveryEasy,
this will save the change. Do not try to create the partition again, since creating partition
will clear all the content of the partition.
