If so, make sure that you have the driver powered on when you boot. The drivers tend not to load if no devices are seen - this happens with my DAT drive. : Boot Manager : I have a disk that previously had dos and bsd on it. I now want : use it for dos/novell but i cannot get rid of the boot mgr : and it will not let me repartition the hard disk properly. : I have tried reformatting it etc, no luck. : Help !! Boot DOS and run "fdisk /mbr". It's not documented, but re-writes the boot sector code. -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
