Safe Version vs. Full Version

Hello all,

Why is it when I boot from the CD for TI 9.0 that in the Safe version, it will recognize the HArd Drives, but using the Full version, the hard drives are not seen at all?

Thanks
Patrick

 

Simply because they are using different interfaces. The Full version is Linux, using whichever drivers it thinks are the best fit, whereas the safe version is DOS which (I understand) uses the BIOS interrupt interface.

The DOS one is intended to be more generic and more likely to work with older established interfaces (e.g. not USB or Firewire), but the price you pay for this is speed. In otherwords a backup or restore in Safe mode is likely to take longer than Full.

If you have the Intel 965 chipset on your motherboard this is a problem that is fixed in TI10 lastest build, I believe.
