Ranish Partition Manager revived (Announce)

posted by fritz.mueller Homepage, Munich, Germany, 15.01.2023, 15:32

Hi
I just tested the latest ranish with a virtual 1 GB HDand still have some questions with it.
a) How can I create 3 partitions, an extended partition and more than 4 logical volumes?
b) When creating partitions, it would be helpful to show the maximum number of sectors for this partition in the window. otherwise you always have to calculate the max. value.
c) maybe this is the problem you mentioned before: I created all partitions with ranish, everything was shown green, I rebooted FD and tried to run format,
format c: worked, at all others format reported an error message:
Warning: Resets bad cluster marks, if any.
Drive_IO (write 0 count 1) [FAT12/16] [drive d*]
critical error during disk access
DOS driver error (hex): 01
Description: unknown unit for driver
Program terminated
I started ranish and formatted d - i, rebooted, and now everything works fine.
d) among others I got an interrupt divide by zero, see screenshot.
e) I removed a partition (file system type "unused" and erased it. Ranish still shows the settings of the ("none") partition after a reboot. Means:
Partition entries are still in MBR.
f) The good news: FreeDOS does no longer give out messages about other expected sizes, see screenshot.
