[this was sent to -mobile as that is where this thread and request for modification was made - feel free to also post this to one of the other lists (Jordan?) if you feel it is appropriate...] I assembled and compiled a new version of BootEasy which recognizes the FAT32 partition type and no longer prints out question marks in both the installation program and the boot program. In addition, it will now let you boot off the second disk even if you have more than two disks installed. The new version (1.8) of BootEasy has been uploaded to: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/bteasy18.zip After considering things a little more, I changed the "Amoeba" OS entry (which I've never even heard of) to the new one because it gave me one more character. I gave it a quick try on my single-disk experimental Win98 machine, and it recognized the partition type and worked fine. Please give it a try and let me know if you have any problems - but the changes I made were so simple it should function as well as the previous version... (assuming the very-old Borland compiler I used for the installation program compile didn't botch the compile - it seemed to work fine) (famous last words? :-) Gary
