matt, i see that when i rewrote my last post i was not clear that i installed w2k on the c drive after installing w95. i did just try to reinstall w2k on the computer, per your suggestion, thinking i might be given a opportunity to select which drive to install it on. that did not happen and it just installed over c. isn't there some why i can force it to install on the d drive? i just found this in w2k help: "Winnt Performs an installation of or upgrade to Windows 2000. winnt [/s:sourcepath] [/t:tempdrive] [/u:answer file][/udf:id [,UDB_file]] [/r:folder][/rx:folder][/e:command][/a] Parameters /s:sourcepath Specifies the source location of the Windows 2000 files. The location must be a full path of the form x:\[path] or \\server\share[\path]. /t:tempdrive Directs Setup to place temporary files on the specified drive and to install Windows 2000 on that drive. If you do not specify a location, Setup attempts to locate a drive for you. /u:answer file Performs an unattended Setup using an answer file. The answer file provides answers to some or all of the prompts that the end user normally responds to during Setup. You must also use /s. /udf:id [,UDB_file] Indicates an identifier (id) that Setup uses to specify how a Uniqueness Database (UDB) file modifies an answer file (see /u). The /udf parameter overrides values in the answer file, and the identifier determines which values in the UDB file are used. If no UDB_file is specified, Setup prompts you to insert a disk that contains the $Unique$.udb file. /r:folder Specifies an optional folder to be installed. The folder remains after Setup finishes. /rx:folder Specifies an optional folder to be copied. The folder is deleted after Setup finishes. /e:command Specifies a command to be executed at the end of GUI-mode Setup. /a Enables accessibility options." what if i just ran the first part of this : winnt [/s:sourcepath] [/t:tempdrive] ? of course i don't know what i am talking about, just throwing out ideas. and if the above command would run, would it be something like winnt/s:g(being my cd)/t:d regarding idea 1. i ran a search for ntldr and ntdetect neither of them turned up on my computer. i looked through winnt/driver cache/i386/sp (is that where they might be)but did not find them. however winnt is on the d drive and filled with files. belker
