Hi! I think now that it may not be able to get this disk to boot; this is dos6.2 which is pretty old; the drive it had worked on before was a win98 installation. I went into dos and did fdisk; I had to change to disk 2 in the program, and when I went into the option for activating a dos partition, it said only partitions on disk 1 could be made active. Theoretically, the use of "map-drive" might work around this problem, but I don't think it works in this case. So it looks like I either just keep on booting into dos with a floppy, which is no big deal, or experiment with dosemu, or a combination of the two. thanks. Cheryl Cheryl
