	I just went to boot Coherent the other day and all I get is the 
copyright notice. The rest of the boot process fails and the drive light stays
on. If I try to reinstall it does the same thing when I reach the partition
step ?? 

setup is as follows >>

1542b SCSI host adapt.
2 80 meg drives partitioned as follows
SCSI i.d. 0 --- C:  ( one large partition )
SCSI i.d. 1 --- D:  ( primary dos partition )
SCSI i.d. 1 --- E:  ( extended with logical F:,G: )
SCSI i.d. 1 ---     ( Coherent partition )

DR Dos 5.0 on the C: drive
Stacker coprocessor recently installed along with the two logical partitions 
F: and G: after Coherent had previously been installed but Coherent still ran 
fine ?? I don't know what triggered this problem but I am hoping that my worst
fears will not be realized. (i.e. the need to completely reorganize not only
drive i.d. 1 Coherent but "everything" )-: aaaaahhhhhgggggg!!!!!
