whenever I try loading loadlin, it asks for an image file with options. would I receive this message if I had the hdc part incorrect? I think my d drive is hdc because I have to jumper the removable drives as master in order for them to work. Also, do I need to not load dtexp.bat since that is a DOS driver? If I have no partitions, will hdx1 always be 1? Sincerely, O. Glenn Ervin-- (Lenny) N0YJV Northeast Nebraska gervin at kdsi.net or My Work e-mail: gervin at ncbvi.state.ne.us
