QNX install

Hi!

I have Windows partition in 0-1460 cylinders.
QNX can’t install from 1460 cylinder. It can’t see free disk space
available.
What can be done?

Thaks in advance,
Alex.

You could also install the QNX within a file within the QNX Partition
(FAT16/FAT32, not NT)
See the QNX CD…

Hmm there are a couple of things you can try…
Probably one of the easiest things to do is to use Partition Magic.
Partition Magic will allow you to move the Windows partition. Another thing

you can do is enable LBA in the BIOS. LBA will remap the drive settings
giving you more heads and sectors. However, you’d probably have to
reinstall Windows which probably isn’t a viable alternative for you. I’m
sure there are other alternatives, but I’d have to let someone else comment
on this.

Thaks in advance,
Alex.

Not sure I follow you… how is installing QNX into a file in a QNX partition going to help? Sounds like looking at one of those pictures that has a picture of the picture in the picture… :slight_smile:

Yeah that makes more sense. I assumed the issue was with QNX4 however, as you can’t install to a file on a Windows partition with QNX4, that’s strictly QNX RTP stuff.

You can install QNX4.25 within a file on a Windows 95/98/NT/2000
formatted FAT16 or FAT32 partition using a recent QNX CD (1999…)
(Works for QNX4.25, not just QNX RTP).

Booting is via floppy, or with some extra stuff from a WinNT/Win2000
startup selection menu - use dd to copy beginning of .boot file to
/dos/c/boot.qnx
and then put an entry in WinNT/Win2000 boot.ini file pointing to boot.qnx.

You can even use disk space on the Win Partition
should you not want to dedicate too much of the partition to QNX.
(data only, not priviledges means can’t flag as executable)

(Please forgive previous typos…)

Install the QNX as a file within the Windows Filesystem, Its an options on
recent QNX CD’s
