Hello, Nigel.
Thanks for your help. I am just getting into the swing of things healthwise
so I am moving slow.
The Microsoft article speaks about fdisk in Win98, however when I installed
W2k I let the OS
install itself on a partition of its making. Wouldn't that leave Win98 out
of the pic?
Maybe I should wipe the drive & install 2000 by itself after using Partition
Magic to divide up the disk.
If you think your suggestion will work I can try it. My concern is the
Micro. article says to use this fix only if I am having the specified
trouble & I don't think I am.
Waddaya think?
Ed

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
