An awkward way around it is to disable the 5.25 driver and >unplug the cable to the 5.25 drive, re-enabling and plugging it back in >if you plan to use it...but that is very awkward, indeed. Yep, that's how I have to do it. Consequently, the 5 1/4 stays unplugged most of the time. This is ok, I guess, but I agree it's rather an asinine way of doing things. Anyone have a solution that is guaranteed to work? (I have a new GS, 3.0 ROM, one 5 1/4, one 3.5) Thanks in advance... -Chris PS: I tried the suggested solution (sector editing a 5 1/4 disk) but it didn't seem to work... -- \ //\-\ Chris the Silver Singer cmoir@wpi.wpi.edu \/o \/-\ (Silver Singer the Silver Unicorn) / _) \-\ May the ground run swiftly beneath your feet...
