Spots I think Sean answered this one. (PQ-DOS) Yes ..he did so I didn't prioritize calling them today... Cabling, drive lettering, formatting I emailed Jon@Minotaur this morning about all those issues we discussed and asked if he could impliment Win95 (Seans preference) into a 1gb Fat 16 partition onto my secondary drive in the Primary IDE slave position. He said he had planned to finish my build today for shippment tomorrow but that the additional OS install was not a problem. I described as best I could the drive lettering concerns for 2 primary drive partitions and the recabling methods for safely installing Win95. Basically his reply was Tell me what config you want and I'll do it for you> how he does it is how he does it so Ishould be getting the following: Primary Channel: Master = 2gb NTFS w/WinNT 4gb NTFS Slave = 1gb Fat16 w/Win95 (or 98 if he c can't get 95 4gb NTFS 3gb NTFS Secondary Channel: Master= cd-rom But the bios MUST allow you to boot from the slave If the Aopen BIOS does not allow booting from slave (which I do not know for sure) I told Jon to put that drive at Secondary Master (switch it with cd-rom) As far as drive lettering for the 2 primary drive partitions goes I expressed the desire for them to remain as C and D... but I can live with whatever NT spits out.. we'll see what happens with this Clarence
