Re: Tony and his vanishing drive partitions.
I'm finding the one that comes with windows okay: The clone feature looks interesting but isn't free. I already have to buy this: https://www.aomeitech.com/aomei-partiti ... stant.htmlexxos wrote: ↑Mon Jan 18, 2021 1:15 pm I started using this one to backup with https://www.easeus.com/backup-software/tb-free.html
I've ended up with a stupid drive and need to leap frog partitions to consolidate it as I'm running out of space.
Need to join the end partition with C: Short stroking my drive seemed like a good idea at the time. Now it's a mess!
As described here:
The merge feature isn't free as described though.
If I was rich I'd employ an I.T. God.

Re: Tony and his vanishing drive partitions.
I've just confirmed that I have the latest Driver for the UltraSatan.
Peter thinks it's a windows 10 issue.
I've had windows not see hardware after a past update, so we know it can muck things up.
I'll just be religous about backing up.

Re: Tony and his vanishing drive partitions.
@Cosmic Puppet Have you considered not using so many partitions? Rather than having 14 512mb TOS partitions, try having 1-4 512mb's and then one large FAT32 partition? You just need Bigdos driver in AUTO to be able to use it.

Re: Tony and his vanishing drive partitions.
512 is the max for any single partition for the STFM using TOS 1.04 I believe.
They are quite full. I could drop 2 drives that I'm not currently needing next time I have to redo it.
Having the drives like this also makes it easy to access games.

Re: Tony and his vanishing drive partitions.
I'm pretty sure with the bigdos driver you can have up to something like 2gb. Unless I'm just completely wrong

Re: Tony and his vanishing drive partitions.
How do I get bigdos? The guy in the video says TOS can't address more than 512MB.
I could be told anything and be none the wiser.

Re: Tony and his vanishing drive partitions.
@Cosmic Puppet Just in case you're wondering why the PP driver isn't listed on the Bigdos page Exxos linked, it's because the PP driver was only written in the last few years. It should still work but to be sure you just need to try it. It's as simple as putting Bigdos.prg in the AUTO folder, and of course having a FAT32 partition to try it with. I've always used it without issue, but I use HD Driver.

I don't know what to do next. Everything looks the same.
