Spots...ZP Once you've booted, see if you can access the CDROM. Try D: and E:. D: should be the other hard drive and E: the cd if you've done it right and I understand your configuration. If not, you'll get an error during bootup. I opened A:\ config.sys and autoexec.bat with Wordpad? and put in the 2 commands. Rebooted and..... to my utter amazement.........A: BOOTED THE MACHINE......Then I put in a cd... to myy completely utter amazement.... A: READ THE CD....... The cd is letter D: ... just like from w98 boot, I hope I,m not booted from 98. Can't be.. BIOS is set for A then C which is NT which doesn't have MS DOS and I'm definitely in MS DOS. E: is an Invalid Drive Spec . When you say D should be the other drive, which is Formated NTFS, can FAT16 (msdos) see NTFS. I know we've covered that.. but my brain is like a plate full of turnip at the moment<g> Clarence Edit BTW your discussons on partitions are excellent and I'm devouring every word....please keep them going.....I shouldn't be pestering Spots for a few hours at least.. so he can give the partitioning debate his full attention<g>
