Cheryl: It is possible that the Windows on this Thinkpad is 2000, and that the file system is NTFS, in which case you would get nothing on the C:> drive by booting DOS. Very possible. Would you try putting the ps2 files on a floppy? You may still be able to configure your bios this way. And, to answer your question, yes, the back slash is above return/enter. Actually, I find the Thinkpad keyboard brillaintly designed. Other than the FN key in the lower left corner, every key can be guessed correctly. The Function keys are grouped by fours, the six-pack is intact in the upper right hand corner, the cursor cross is identifiable as such, etc. And, once you know that the lower left key is fn, the two next to it are easily guessed to be ctrl and alt followed by the space bar. I'm sure you've gotten that by now! <grin> On Tue, 20 Aug 2002, Cheryl Homiak wrote: > This is getting stranger and stranger.
