Appendix G: Coexisting with other OSes

eComStation is very well capable of coexisting with other Oses on your

computer. This can be convenient in some situations, where you may

want to use certain applications which are not able to run on

eComStation. There are some details you should pay attention to, which

are listed below. If you want to exchange data between Oses, make

sure you have a volume which is read/writeable by these systems. Most

of the time special drivers will be required to make this possible.

General Considerations

Make sure you have your harddisk layout the way you want it, before

you install eComStation. The use of partitioning tools, like

PartitionMagic of PowerQuest, FIPS, or others should be prevented if at

all possible after you have installed eComStation. If you do want to

change your harddisk layout, please consult Appendix D; LVM.

Windows NT/2000

If you are going to install Windows 2000 on your computer, please

install Windows 2000 and then apply service pack 2 first. If you already

have Windows 2000 on your system and want to install eComStation,

also install service pack 2. If you do not do this, every time Windows

2000 starts up, it will destroy the eCS boot manager. This is a bug in

Windows 2000. If your boot manager is destroyed you can restore it by

booting eCS from the installation CD#1 and run LVM, where you can

reinstall the bootmanager.

If you are using Windows N.T. 4.0 there is an option that you can mark

a partition as not having a drive letter. Windows 2000 on the other hand

does not have this option. Because of this, Windows 2000 will list HPFS

partitions as being available in 'My Computer'. If you double click on

that drive letter it will say it can not read that partition and sometimes

you will be prompted with an option to format it. Of course you should

not accept this offer, since it will render your HPFS volume useless.

Appendix G: Coexisting with other OSes 67

Windows 95, 98 or Me

If you have installed eCS and you are going to install Windows 95, 98 or

Windows Me you will receive a warning about a 'bootmanager being

disabled' or that you will 'no longer be able to start OS/2'. Ignore these

warnings. When the installation has finished you can enable the

bootmanager again by starting FDISK (from DOS) and via option 2 mark

the smallest available partition as active (the bootmanager partition is

usely about 4 to 7 MB in size).

To access FAT32 partitions on your harddisk, please refer to the

Miscellaneous section of Chapter 3.

VFAT partitions require the use of a VFAT driver, these are available on

http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/

another option to access VFAT partitions is by using NetDrive:

Linux

eComStation can be installed without problems alongside a Linux

installation on the same system. Please use the LVM Bootmanager

instead of lilo.

To read/write HPFS volumes you will need to obtain a module for Linux.

To access Linux ext2fs partitions you require the driver available on

CD#3:

\THIRDPARTY\MoreStuff\ext2_240.zip

Please note that the OpenJFS is not compatible with eComStation

JFS and as such it is not advised to access your JFS volume from

Linux. This may change in the future.
