I have the following two questions: - is it possible to make dos understand a second dos partition made on Hard disk 2. (I could make a physical dos partition on the second hard-disk but I have problems making dos - in native mode - recognize the second dos partition on the second disk). - is it possible to make vpix recognize the second partition on the second disk? Any suggestions or input on this will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. --- Pete Sridharan sridhar@caboom.cbm.dec.com
