Thank you for the hint. Yesterday I moved around one GB to free up

I made several tries to copy large amounts from the CD to my hard
drive, and the computer hung repeatedly while reading some files.
Today I took the CD to a friend and copied abt 25 MB to his HD with
very little problem. So it does seem that this particular CD is very
picky with players.
My CD-player is an Acer 8 spin. My friends is an older Pioneer
(I  think), and only double spin. None of them has a caddy.

   There are two ways.
   1.Insert new HDD into your old server and mirror all partitions.
     After configure drivers on the new server.
   2.Use migrate utility with across the wire migrarion option.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi All!!!!!!!!!!!
I have just added a fourth IDE HD to one of the 3.12 servers.
It's a 2.5 GB Bigfoot Quantum HD.
The problem I have is that the drive appears as a 2.147 GB, I'm loosing 300
MB somewhere.
When I create the partition, it tells me that there is 2.450 GB (around) plus
hotfix. When I create the volume it shows 2.407 GB.
The server has 32 MB RAM. Is a Pentium 120.
When I map the new disk from a workstation I just have 2.147 GB free.
I have tried: LBA, NORMAL and LARGE at bios setup.. all the same.
I have changed the block size from 4K to 64K with the same result.
In some of the tests there came to be 1.995 GB. (worst!) Don't remember
exactly which, but it was while I was changing block sizes.
I'm using IDE.DSK, now I think that I could try with ISADISK, could that be
the problem?
Thanks for your help.

I still don't understand what all this has to do with the
SPECIFICATION.
Again, the specification is what it is, period.  A discussion of "what might
work" in a small LAN, a LAN/WAN, a cable segment with "less" line loss, etc.
is just speculation.  Anyone is welcome to deviate from the spec (it isn't a
law, after all), but I don't know why one would want to risk bringing on
problems by doing so.

Anyone recommend some great books that I could go buy in a bookstore that

I am running NOS4.10, so that have to be aimed at this. I think someone

Also if anyone in Australia that may be reading this and would like to

assistant: They make a LAN version, since Ver 2.0.  XTreeNet 2.0 (very old) where
various features can be configured OFF.  You'd probally have to call them, or
contact a VAR that specialises in LANs.  We used it since the turn of the
decade.
        1-800-634-5545, or California 1-800-551-5353
        Canada 1-416-866-8592
The numbers are very old, and I don't know if they are still valid.
According to the jacket, its works on Novell 2.0 Advanced Netware, ELS 1 & 2,
and Netware v386.
I think the jacket indicates a different version is required for the
different Novell versions.

The second one does not memorize the path on wich the MAP are.. it's not

but the first one seems to have a great problem : in the system login scripts
of the lan, there is an instruction :
if <number>= "" then...
    ... write ".. messages"
    ... exit logout
instruction that permits to control that there is a DOS variable named NUMBER
(and then that the configuration has been made by the lan specialist... more
or less).
The Microsoft client has no problem with this instruction, but the novell one
seems to have one : the DOS environment variables are not memorized when
Novell logs in the server, and then i'm logged out !
who knows what can I do ?  (I can uninstall the Novel client, of course, but
then I can't test !)
Thx
