I have had the same problem as many people when trying to boot in to qnx. It
says can not find packages. It is on my primary partion so I knew that
wasn’t my problem. After reading some of the other posts when qnx was
booting I pressed space and choose option 6: be verbose. After I did this it
showed that it was looking on /dev/cd0 for the file system files when it
should have been looking at /dev/hd1. How can I fix this so qnx sees that it
should be loading from /dev/hd1.
Thanks Daniel
Sorry I worked out what should be the problem I have the Ontrack Dynamic
Drive Overlay installed and on the qnx web page it says qnx won’t work with
this.
Does anyone know how to uninstall this as I installed it to get my 8.4gb
hard drive to work on my 486. Now im running a 667 Celeron and don’t require
it anymore. I’m looking for a way to remove it without destroying my data.
Thanks Daniel (MmmGarlic)

you just need to get a bootdisk with some good partition manager / alternative get Partition Magic or similar for windows, but the cheapest solution would probably be to download a bootdisk from some linux dist (debian) and remove the partition from there, and create a windows(or what you want) partition from there.

Johan,
By doing that won’t it destroy my data on my primary boot partion that has
the dynamic drive overlay.
Also I thought the boot disk would solve my problem. I tried booting with
the qnx bootdisk and guess what same problem can’t find packages. It is
still looking for the file system on /dev/cd0 when it is on /dev/hd1.
Hmm how come I keep getting the same problem.

If you have a DOS boot disk run
fdisk /mbr
and that will get rid of the drive overlay software for you.

But are you sure it won’t destroy anything and it willl leave my hard drive
the way it was before the drive overlay software was on

Yup, fdisk /mbr simply rewrites the master boot record and nothing else.
However if something goes horibly wrong I only offered a suggestion 
Laugh, in all honesty I have done it in the past without it causing
data loss.

The purpose of drive overlay software is to traslate the real
cylinders/heads/sectors numbers into something the bios can
understand. As such, all the data on your drive is mapped
using this software. This isn’t a filesystem or even partition
level thing, but raw disk data. Really this software is
a nightmare for this reason and I don’t recommend anyone to
use it if they can find any other way. You cannot do anything
to remove it and use the drive normally in a new pc with out
losing your data. You’ll have to back up you data somehow and
start fresh. And even even you don’t want to do this just to
try RTP, you’ll probably have some problems down the road with
other os’s.
Disk overlay software is evilllllllll!!!

Yeh thanks
lucky i didn’t use fdisk /mbr
I tied to load qnx with the boot disk and it didn’t work anyway so I have
stopped trying.
