Hi, does os-bs support large disk access? I first tried lilo, but lilo can only boot nt if there are a maximum of 1024 cylinders. After installing lilo my nt didn't work anymore because the disk geometry was wrong. Booteasy works fine with large disk access. I need a bootmanager which can access disks in large mode. Will os-bs work with large disk access? Bye, Alex > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrzej Szydlo [mailto:andrzej@gv.edu.pl] > Sent: Dienstag, 30.
