N0-ACT.ZIP. Just be sure to read the README.TXT for instruction of how to
setup it up and use it.This procedure will make all partitions on physical drive 0 (e.g.: the IDE Primary Master drive) as Non-Active using DOS's DEBUG.EXE.
I recommend that you use a DOS or Windows 95 Boot
disk that has the minimum files on it:
The BOOT files of course.
DEBUG.EXE
FDISK.EXE
FORMAT.COM
SYS.COM
Here is the step by step method to follow:
Run DEBUG.EXE and at the debug prompts type in the commands and press ENTER.| Prompt (what you see) Note: The first part of the code displaced may be different (1A4C)but the information after the colon should be the same(0100). |
