Contents of this section

This FAQ is the work of John Wehman ( jwehman@got.net ) and Peter den Haan ( pieterh@sci.kun.nl ). The homepage of the FAQ is

The HTML version should also be online on and the text version is available by FTP from You can also get it by e-mail from pieterh@sci.kun.nl by sending a message with "EIDE FAQ text" in the Subject: header. The body of the message will be ignored. You can replace "text" by "PostScript" or "html" if you want something more fancy than plain text. Anything else will probably break the mail server and cause it to send you an uuencoded coredump :-)

DISCLAIMER.

The information in this FAQ comes without any warranty. The authors or distributor will not accept responsibility for any damage incurred directly or indirectly through use of the information contained in this FAQ.

COPYRIGHT.

This document is copyright © John Wehman and Peter den Haan. You are free to distribute it by electronic means and make as many copies as you want on electronic or magnetic media, convert it to a different format, and embed control sequences, as long as the text of this document remains unmodified, with copyright notices intact. Splitting up this document is allowed on the condition that the resultant parts are presented as a recognizable whole that makes up the full, unmodified text.

THANKS.

To everyone on comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage for encouragement and feedback, especially those who took the time to communicate their comments in some detail. To Hale Landis without whom the FAQ would have been considerably less accurate on a number of key points; to Stephanie Brady from OnTrack for extensive Disk Manager related information; to Aron Eisenpress for critically reading the FAQ time and again; and many, many others.

TODO.

  • Drop the definition of megabyte as 1048576 bytes, which is nonstandard in this context, and use 1000000 byte MBs instead.
  • Reorganize the FAQ, with a complete overhaul of the text.
  • Write howto type documents walking through specific tasks.
  • Tweak the HTML output more. Perhaps find another translator.

NOTE.

The text, PostScript and HTML versions of the FAQ are all produced from a common linuxdoc-SGML source. This solution is not perfect and all versions do contain some infelicities. Apologies. Suggestions for improvement are most welcome, as are complimentary copies of more professional multi-format authoring tools.
