2417.0. "Phoenix NetBIOS partition destroyed..." by SOS6::BERNARD (Bernard Ourghanlian, Alpha Resource Center) Wed May 28 1997 10:52

    I've used Partition Magic to repartition my HiNote VP 575 and I've
    destroyed the Phoenix NetBIOS partition. I've tried to use PHDISKF with 
    the "/create" option but I've got the following error : "Not enough
    contiguous free disk space" which in fact means the partiion is not
    there. Is there any way to recreate the PHDISK partition without
    reformatting the entire disk ? And if yes, how ? Where should the
    partition be located ? In which format ? Should it be hidden ?
    
    Apparently, there is another tool called PHDISK (without the F) that is
    supposed to do that. If yes, where one could find it ?

	At the risk of sounding stupid...what the hell is a Phoenix NetBIOS partition??? Why would a NetBIOS have a partition? -Tom

	IN the user guide, I believe it describes how to repartition and set up the system after an FDISK operation.. PHDISKF creates a file INSIDE of a formatted partition. The VP510-545 used a non-dos partition and the VP 550-575 use a continuous space inside of a partition. Be sure to use PHDISKF /create 86016. This will cover you in case you add memory to your system. Vin
2417.3	Internal error	SOS6::BERNARD	Bernard Ourghanlian, Alpha Resource Center	`Wed May 28 1997 16:56`	7
	After defragmenting my C partition, I finally managed to use PHDISKF in order to create the file using the command : "PHDISKF /create 86016". But I still have a problem to use the file. When I boot, I get the following error message : "Internal error: Read past partition/file end". What else can I do ?

	By the way, what is the file name PHDISKF is supposed to create ?
