That was the start of the problem.. :) It wouldn't mount the partition to install from it. But even now since I've managed to install it, I still get the "Invalid Argument" error when I try to mount the extended partition. I am typing: mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s2 /dos_e It's more annoying since my Download and Data directories are on that partition in Win '95 and it would be nice to be able to access them. Ciao, Roddie
