Manual for Advance 6A/Advance 6B
4.
Are there any hard disk limitations of RecoveryEasy?
RecoveryEasy supports all kinds of current IDE hard disks and has no limitation on
the hard disk capacity. RecoveryEasy can not provide its function for some special
hard disk types such as SCSI, but it will not affect their usage.
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 system halt when HDD access mode is changed (eg. LBA-
>LARGE)?
This is a way to protect the system from the errors of data accessing caused by
changing HDD access mode. When RecoveryEasy detects such things, the system
will be locked, users could reboot the system and set the HDD access mode as the
original one in BIOS SETUP.
7.
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.
8.
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.
9.
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 successfully completed. In order to remove the yellow
question mark before IDE devices in Device Manager, enable this switch once
more after system reboot.
10.
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
protected by RecoveryEasy, therefore the conversion will be invalidate. Enabling
the “ ATTRIB PAR” switch from Recovery User Interface
RecoveryEasy
