>>lets fruther complicate it. In my system its really booting off of my FAT16 C:\ I tried that too. I jumpered the drive with the FAT partition at the beginning as primary IDE, booted NT from FAT to prove I could do it, copied an NT clone to the 15 gb partition on the same drive, added a boot.ini entry for the copy, and tried to boot it. It told me it couldn't find ntoskrnl.exe. To varify, I deleted the 15 gb partition and made a 2 gb partition, copied NT clone to it, and booted with the same boot.ini. Booted right up. I tell you, I wasted a LOT of time on this <g>. I also tried repartitioning and resizing with PM (4.01 from the floppy). This was on a third new 17gb drive. Created a 16gb (whole drive) partition. No boot. Reduced to 2gb. STILL no boot. NT file manager shows it as a 16gb partition. PM shows it as 2gb and PM About shows PM 4.01.xxx. (This is the PM from floppy.) Screw PM. That was at quarter to two this morning and I haven't looked at it today, but I don't trust PM at all. Sounds like ZP's problem, but from the latest PM rev. Depend on nobody, says I <gg>. Looks like I'm busy blowing my second place tie last week for the S&P 500 contest today. Shoulda stayed short ... <G>.
