Doesn't LF work from a floppy boot?

I couldn't get the demo (Wily'S copy) TO boot from its floppy. That's the only reason I consider a FAT partition to boot from.
Maybe the manual will provide more info. I expect my LF to arrive today.

Unhiding and making active the clone at the end of the NT disk should work..at least I can not think of a reason why it would not. You would have to hide the NT partition as you can not have two active partitions on the same physical disk in a Win9x environment.

Understood...I'm confused whether LF boots from its floppy which I agree makes sense or runs the floppy booted from a FAT partition. As I said, Wily's demo wouldn't boot its floppy for me.

Why mess with the primary NT install if a floppy boot does not work? Wouldn't it make more sense to copy the clone to one of the ROMOs and then boot the ROMO?

You're quite right...didn't think of that. I'll do it that way instead if LF retail product floppy still won't boot.

I would consider emailing PQ and indicating to them you have a machine with five harddrives and asking how their software protection SCHEME will work in your machine.

As Spots indicated a while back, a phone call to sales would be alot.
faster. They really are neurotic about licensing and protecting themselves.
