Cliff,

Sorry for the late reply. The newborn has me workng overtime. =20

Next time you run fdisk. Use the fdisk /mbr command first. This will cl=
ear the master boot record and should stop the problems you were having. =
Sounds like there was some bad Micro(soft) left-overs. LOL

Gald to hear you got it running. I think I will look into the web site p=
eople suggested. It may help me with my class project.


Regards,
Darren

I have run fdisk from my bootable floppy disk (win98 recovery disk). I ha=
ve
deleted all partitions and tried to install LINUX, I have created a prima=
ry
partition and it doesn't work either. If someone could give me some advic=
e
on this I would appreciate it. I am reading some how-tos on the net while=
I
try to figure this out. I am just not sure I am doing the correct fdisks
with the correct program. C
