I installed both the 13GB HDD w/o the IDE removable rack. Sounded better
already with the vibrating having stopped.

Looked good as I installed mandrake 7.1. Only problem was the
pointer/cursur was a large white block! (BTW, 13GB dos is primary
master, cdrom slave on IDE1 and the lone 13GB as 2nd IDE master for
linux).

So now linux boots! (except for the cursor problem).  Using Lilo I then
wanted to get back to DOS to all my data and DOS programs. NOPE!
Wouldn't boot to DOS (win98). Trying to use fdisk from linux
    fdisk /mbr   -- unable to open mbr
    fdisk /dev/hds /mbr  -- gives me a bit of a help list


If I can recover, and I really hope I can with your help! I'm keeping
the disks separate and removable!

thanks again group!
