Dynamic Drive Overlay?

[joker_927]

HOLY COW!

I just got an e-mail back from them telling me to use a windows 98 bootdisk to get to the A: prompt, then typ in this!:

3. On the A: prompt, type debug and press Enter. Enter the commands
carefully.

A:\>DEBUG
- f 200 L200 0
- a 100
xxxx:0100 mov ax,301 (ignore segmentffset values at left)
xxxx:0103 mov bx,200
xxxx:0106 mov cx,1
xxxx:0109 mov dx,0080
xxxx:010C int 13
xxxx:010E int 3
xxxx:010F (Press ENTER an extra time here)
- d 100 LF
xxxx:0100 B8 01 03 BB 00 02 B9 01-00 BA 80 00 CD 13 CC
(make sure that hex values match above line before proceeding)
(if values do not match, type Q and start over)
- g=100
(ignore register display)
- q (quits back to DOS)

Now, the partitions on the hard drive is removed completely.

Glad I didn't have to do that!

For some reason the disk image brought me to a "page not available" so I downloaded the CD image instead (ISO). I burned the huge 4MB file onto a CD-rw, and booted the laptop with it. Sure enough right under Disk Maintenance there was an option to remove "Dynamic Drive Overlay" from the disk. It gave me a few warning that it would erase data on the drive and this and that. Luckily there was also an option to put DDO back onto the drive (why would anyone actaully do that though?).

It took a whopping .5 seconds to take the DDO off with this Seagate program.

PS. I'm now sitting at the Windows XP desktop with my new Laptop!

PSS. I spoke with a Compaq technician for 1 hour, and got absolutley nowhere. I feel bad for the guy because he seems smart, but he was held back by all those "rules" those tech guys have to follow. He had me set the bios to default, install windows another 3 times, turn it off for 10 seconds, things like that. I finally just told the guy I found a program that said it would remove the whole program. He responded with saying he would e-mail me the direction to remove the program. I really do feel bad for those people.

Hi , i got the same sort of problem only i don't know in which style to burn the files. Is it as bootable cd or just as ISO?
