In addition to runing fdisk.mbr several times (5 or more times is good), you will need to transfer the system files to the disk again. Put a startup disk in the drive and change to the A drive. Then run the command "sys c:". This can not be run on the currently active drive. ======= 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.
