I can boot with no difficulties but the installation won't proceed from the CD. It tells me it can't find a CD. I've tried creating and format a small C: partion and tried to tell it to use a DOS partion, same issue. I've tried boot floppies and was unable to access the CD. Any clues as to how I can proceed without resorting to floppies. Thanks. PS. I've read the FAQ. I have no control over who is master/slave etc... ------------------------------------------------------------ Ivo Duarte IPEX Inc.
