Did you install from CD? How many hard drives are in this computer? How many other operating systems? What is the computer configuration? How far down the install process did you get? The configuration of my machine is as follows, IBM 200 6x86MX 32 Mb EDO RAM 3.2 Gb HDD 2 Mb Cirrus Logic PCI Vga card 24x Matsushita Cd-rom Drive I also have a PRI DOS partition with a size of 102 Mb on a FAT16. Which is runing a windows 95 shell. Does anyone know what the problem is and what to do about it. PLEASE!! peter@worldinternet.net
