When you type "d:<Enter>) at
the DR-DOS prompt, does the
drive letter in the prompt
change, and if so, can you
execute a DIR command and see
filenames listed? Is the D:
drive acessible if you boot
from a DR-DOS floppy or, for
that matter, an MS-DOS or
Win9x boot floppy?
What I suspect is that the
C: drive in the 586 is one of
those that has a different
jumper setting for "single-
drive" and "master with slave
present."
