Well, I've done this twice now, so I think I've got an idea of
what is going on.  But since I did the same thing months
apart, I wanted to find out if I'm right before going through
this whole procedure again.

I was able to set up dos so that it would start from my hard
disk (i.e. drive C:), when using PCDittoI--software version.
After not using PCDitto for a couple of days, however, I found
that I was no longer able to boot dos from the hard disk.  As
I said, I did this a few months ago and in just the past few
days.  This time I think I figured out what I did:  I
installed G+Plus and resorted my Auto folder.  So, my question
is:  Does resorting the Auto folder somehow wipe out the dos
boot?  If so, I want to make sure of my set up before going
through the formatting procedure again.

Thanks very much in advance.  You can email me directly or
post to the net.
