Dear all,
Could you help me with my problem of using PCMCIA Kingston hard drive in DOS?
My Kingston PC Crad hard drive "DataPak 1GB" works fine in Windows 98 SE, but I can not work with this hard drive in DOS.
I am using "Card Soft PCMCIA Driver for DOS" software for my "TP570 2644-3AU" laptop downloaded from IBM Web site.
My config.sys file for DOS is:
------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------
My hard drive has FAT32.
While inserting the hard drive I hear the medium tone followed by high tone beep. According to CardSoft documentation it means that the CardSoft software is able to reconize and configure PCCard.
When I try to access to my DataPak hard drive in DOS I got the message: "General failure reading drive F".
What should I change in my settings?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Alex Kirkovsky
