I have the same problem with a 10GHD. I also have a small HD (200M) which i thought I could set up as FAT16 and boot from a floppy when I need to run pure DOS. The primary drive is C: which is 10GB FAT32 and the secondary drive is D: which is 200M FAT16. The problem is that when I boot from my DOS6.22 diskette drive C: disappear and drive D: is now C:. This is a problem since I use DOS for programming and can mostly do this under W95 but sometime I need DOS 6.22 (No virtualized peripherials) and all my paths in the development environment is pointing to D: which now doesn't exist. Perhaps It works if I have the small HD as drive C: with FAT16 and the large one as drive D: with FAT32. Dos 6.22 is installed on C: and W95 boot files is installed over DOS in this drive but its main components (W95 dir) is installed on D:. This way I should be able to reboot to my old DOS with D: now invisible to DOS but with all paths for my DOS programs in C: the same as when run from W95. I didn't have time to try this out, instead I partitioned my HD as 4 2.1G blocks (loosing approx. 2G) and now it's too much trouble to try it. ============================== Ruben Jvnsson AB Liros Elektronik Box 9124, 200 39 Malmv, Sweden TEL INT +4640 142078 FAX INT +4640 947388 ruben@2.sbbs.se ==============================
