ha ha ha ha ha ha.. You did the same thing I did!!!
The "d" partition cann't be used as a partition .. the 'd'
partition is the whole drive.. So even though you set it aside as 70meg
for unix. It actually was the first 70meg of your HD. Which is probably
where you dos is..
So change the d to an e, and move the rest of the drive numbers down.
Make a d partition that is the whole drive. and then
reformat your dos partition and stick dos back on it.
Hope you made a backup of DOS :-)
