>> On NTBOOTDD.SYS, etc ...

Dan, thanks, you confirmed my inferences and (despite your
disclaimer) described the situation very well AND (very
gratifying) confirmed by your experience what I had inferred
from reading.

Zeuspaul's particular problem, though, is trying to boot
a partition from a SCSI drive which was copied brute-force
from an
IDE install. I was trying to address that, but I have now
more or less convinced myself that the registry entries for
the system (installed on an IDE drive) will have conflicts
that will prevent correct operation if subsequently booted
from a SCSI drive. I have managed personally to produce
conflicts in my own system (by presenting NT with
a confusing partition configuration) that is the rough,
self-inflicted equivalent, in that if I reconfigure the
hard drives I will virtually guarantee BSOD errors.

Well, enough.

Regards,

Spots
