Re: Squeeze point release broke keyboard and mouse

hi,
was that a typo below, as in 2 tb?
Indeed Dr dos does have an approximately 2 gb limit for the primary dos 
partition. this dell laptop has a disk size of about  8 gig, so we 
partitioned the rest into  amounts smaller than  3 gig, since my best 
understanding is that it can swing 4 gig.  However the first 
partition its d: drive technically has no allocation units according to 
Dr dos 703's edition of chkdsk.  the other two partitions e and f are just 
fine though.
Yes I do realize partition magic is still legal, but not so sure about 
its availability free for dos, because its new owners  state as of July 2011 
they are no longer offering partition magic at all.  There is a link for a 
free partition magic on the partition wizard site, the replacement product 
for partition magic,  but it is not directing 
me clearly in lynx.
Still I will check out offerings you present here.  your note gives me 
an idea, perhaps shifting the primary dos partition slightly so it is closer 
to that 2 gig window, which is why no data loss is important.
