Saqib, Kirk, Terry, and Thomas. Thank you very much for your speedy replies. I was able to change drives, and use the 'fdisk /mbr' command to clear LILO from the master boot record. Thank you all once again for your help!

I wonder if this is related to the fact that the partition table for m$ ignores the first 500 bytes or so of the partition. At any rate, this will resolve your problem. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net Nowlan's Theory: He who hesitates is not only lost, but several miles from the next freeway exit. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
