Is there anything obvious I have missed? Use the FDISK command and check to see if your DOS partition is set up correctly, ie, it should be the whole disk. Also, you will need PC-DOS 3.0, or greater. I believe that DOS 2.1 and below only knew about 10MB disks. PC-DOS 3.0 (really 3.10 now) knows up through 33MB disks. -- ihnp4------\ harvard-\ \ Mr. Video seismo!uwvax!nicmad!brown topaz-/ / decvax------/
