NT Drive designations..signatures..jumpers..Disk Administrator Upon further experimentation I found the Maxblaster EZ drive utility only reports NT incompatible jumper settings when I query about installing NT to the slave drive. After reformatting both drives with Maxblaster I was able to restore any Drive Image successfully?? I want the NT/win95 combo on the slave drive..it was initially setup on the master. So I restored the original combo to the alternate drive. The combo is now on the slave. On the first NT boot of the combo on the slave drive using bios boot drive select there was a pagefile message. I went to the pagefile configuration screen and the pagefile was set to the 'C' drive. I am booting slave so NT is using IDE position for 'C' drive in the pagefile screen...NOT boot sequence. Zero space was allocated..I assume this is because NT cannot see FAT32. NT is indicated as being on the D Drive..only way to tell is volume label. NT reports the opposite in NT explorer. I set pagefile to 200 MB min and 200 MB max on the 'D' drive...a best guess. I no longer get the error message. 1) NT Explorer designates the C drive as the slave..current boot drive. 2) The Pagefile designates master as the C drive..same boot as above. 3) Disk Administrator says my 'C' drive does not have a signature and offers to put one on for me..otherwise the drive will not be accessible to NT Disk Administrator. Is the signature applied to the MBR? My thoughts Since I lack sufficient knowledge and NT has multiple definitions of a 'C' drive I should probably install NT to the appropriate drive rather than install it to Drive A and then restore it to Drive B. Disk Administrator should probably be run first from the Primary NT install so signatures are properly assigned wrt the primary NT install. Zeuspaul
