eCS on an Acer Aspire One?
BigGoofyGuy:
'PROGRAM ERROR ; DISK 1 REPORTS A CORRUPT PARTITION TABLE'.
This seems to be blocking me from creating an volume on the drive. :'(
Perhaps a faulty drive?
Dave Yeo:
I'd guess just faulty partition info from the factory. Did you try dfsee?

I am looking for a way to see if there is a bootable DFSee that I can use to check it. I will check the DFSee site. 8)

I searched online sites for drives for the Acer Aspire One. I found a few. 8)

You can either download a freedos+dfsee image on the official DFSee site, burn it to a CD or a USB drive, and boot from it, OR you can just put DFSee for OS/2 on a USB drive, boot your PC from eCS installation CD #1, choose Management console (it even does not ask for a serial code), insert the USB drive with dfsee, open a windowed OS/2 session, change to the USB drive, and start DFSee (dfsos2.exe).
Then you can wipe the beginning of your HDD drive, and create your own partitioning, or exit DFSee and let the eCS installer do it.
Cheers.
P. S. If you want a fully-functional OS/2 boot CD/USB, you can join #os2russian on efnet.

I get the 'incompatible' message when it is checking the drive and before I can check the 'management' button. :( I believe it is after one check 'I accept' and goes to the next screen and checks the drive. I was hoping to get to the 'management' button but it exits me out before I can. :'(
Since I might replace the drive, I tried installing FreeDOS onto it. I used the FDISK program to get around the section with the type 32 indication. I was succesfully able to install FreeDOS on it. I will try eCS 2.2 beta again to see if that made a difference. ::)

I will check for the bootable FreeDOS with the DFSee on it. 8)
