ZP t sounds like you have also been able to boot to the two OSs with the bios. Yep I recall your intent was two NTFS partitions on the first drive. Jon just created a 2g partition for NT on the Quantum master and a 1g partition for w98 on the IBM slave. I'll add others as my strategy evolves more knowledgably. My GUESS is it has to do with where the fan gets it power. Two wires coming off the cpu fan go to mb. I'll inquire more on the aopen newsgroups if my ISP can ever make them available. But thats another discussion. Perhaps the best solution is to put NT in a 1 or 2 GB FAT16 partition at the beginning of the Quantum harddrive. I was hoping for a way to keep NT partition formatted NTFS and also put DI on the same drive. Would an additional,partition after NTs NTFS, be possible formatted FAT? Or do all partitions on a drive need to have the same formatting? The DI manual indicates an installation to WinNT must be in a FAT partition. And executed from DOS So to have DI on the same drive as NT..... 1. NT would have to be FAT and 2. DOS would also have be on the same drive?? A small FAT partition at the end of the NT/Quantum drive might be a consideration. You could use this to keep a harddrive accessible Drive Image of ?? Would a Drive Image of Drive Image work there ? From my reading...Drive Image files have to be kept on a FAT or FAT32 partition if they are to be called from Drive Image for restore. Yes.... my DI files would be on the FAT 32 IBM. But for DI itself to be on the NT/Quantum it appears I'd need a FAT partition for it with real DOS there too. I just thought the convience of having DI available in my primary OS (NT) without having to reboot into w98 (or now DOS) would be good. If PM is now native to NT I would hope DI would also be (native to NT) in the future. Clarence .
