Hi, I assume that you did some kind of partitioning the drives. It would be good to know this. NT4 _must_ have the bootpartition in the first 2 gig of the harddisk, I think W9x should have this too, there are some problems with boot-partitions greater then this (rember that NT4 started 1996, 2 gig was _huge_ and not very common for standardpc`s). I`m sure you can find some infos about this on microsoft`s site. Michael Wieser m.k.w@nextra.at Service and Audiodesign
