YSDDT 0.1.2 (DOS Toolkit for Working with Disks & Partitions) (Announce)

posted by RayeR Homepage, CZ, 07.10.2025, 02:48

I probably wrote about that problem many years ago on this forum and currently don't remember the details. But the problem on my MB was invariant to DOS and EMM/JEMM version. It caused thad when I load EMM and standard version of UDMA/UIDE/XIDE the system hang soon at disk access, usually during autoexec yet. I consulted the problem with Jack and he though that problem is in my BIOS that don't properly handle disk DMA in V86 mode. He made for me customized driver version that loaded in two stages, first in realmode before loading EMM and installed some bootstrap and then it loaded second (main) stage after EMM loaded. This solved my hanging problem. Not sure, the problem might occur only if HDD is attached to SATA3 ports not SATA2 pots. I'm unable to boot Win98 on SATA3, I have to swich boot HDD to other disk that is connected to SATA2. I suspect there maybe some link to SATA IDE emulation (legacy mode) that may behave slightly differently on SATA2 and 3 ports...
