removing OnTrack DDO
Summary: is it possible to remove OnTrack Disk manager/Dynamic Drive
Overlay without trashing everything on the disk?
Long version: I have two disks in one PC; /dev/hda and /dev/hdb. hdb has
DDO installed on it from when it served in a DOS PC with old BIOS. When
I installed, I needed the data intact; later I migrated the data to
ext2 partitions on the same disk, all without removing DDO. Linux can
handle DDO's munging just fine, and the boot disk /dev/hda didn't have it,
so no problem.
Now I want to swap them (hdb is a lot bigger than hda); everything works
ok, except I can't boot off the big disk. The DDO runs and says invalid
BIOS translations are being used -- I chose LBA mode. I can boot off floppy
ok, which is what I have been doing. I'd prefer to remove DDO, if it's
easy.
thanks,
Hamish
