Then run the "format c: /s" command on the drive to make it bootable. Make sure you back up what is on the hard drive first because all will be lost when you run the fdisk and/or format commands. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Joubert | /\ | /\ | _ Internet: jpdres13@usl-pc.usl.edu | \|<>|>|> \|<>|>|><`|`| USENET: ...!{dalsqnt,killer}!usl!usl-pc!jpdres13 |--/|-------/|------------ Last Chance: ut-sally!usl!usl-pc!jpdres13 | \/ \/ GEnie: J.JOUBERT -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
