My IBM 5162 has a damaged hard drive. Every time, I had to use a floppy to boot it.
I recently bought a MINI XT-CF card. However, my IBM 5162 can't boot from it.
Using DOS 3.3, I fdisk the CF card and erase all partitions on my Compaq Prolinea 4/50 (which includes a CF-IDE adapter).
The CF card is then moved to IBM 5162. Start DOS 3.3 from a floppy disk. I use the fdisk command to create a primary partition. Following fdisk's instructions, I restart the computer.
There are no partitions can be seen on the CF card in fdisk when it boots up again. But I can switch the driver to C: . I can't, however, sys to it or format it.
I had to move the CF card back to Compaq. It shows some twisted partitions.
If I create a primary partition and format and sys to it using DOS 3.3 on Compaq, everything works perfectly and the Compaq can boot from it. But the IBM 5162 cannot be booted with the same CF card.
Then I repeat all of the steps in dos6.22, make the CF card bootable on Compaq. However, it remains unresponsive on the IBM 5162, stuck at boot up.
In dos6.22 on 5162, the fdisk command is completely unusable.
Next, what can I do?
Many thanks!
