- I just installed RedHat Linux 3.0.3 as well and tried out the Linux_Elf
- version of 1.99 .... the CD-ROM got recognised without any extra efforts.

- It can see neither formats... nor my other DOS HD partitions except the
- partitions it's being installed to and if I put a Mac formatted disk in
- my Zip drive.
-
- FYI, I have the following drive letters:
-
- Drive Type Recognised by Executor_DOS
- ----- ------------- --------------------------
- DOS format MAC format
- C: IDE HD No N/A
- D: 1st Part
- on SCSI HD No N/A
- E: 2nd Part
- on SCSI HD Yes N/A
- F: Iomega Zip
- SCSI version No Yes
- G: IDE ATAPI
- CD-ROM (6X) No No
- H: SCSI CD-ROM (2X) No No
-
-
- Note: a) E: is recognised as it's the partition Executor 2 is installed
- to
- b) Under DOS mode, I can only get H: working as only one copy
- of MSCDEX is allowed to run.
-
- Thanks.
