What happens, if you try to boot from your XT s fixed disk without LOADER installed?

The 8088 has a 32 MB hard drive, So it looks as if you would *not* have run into this nasty FAT32 problem... ;-) >The only thing I can think of is that OpenDOS doesn't recognize the hard drive partitions. Do you have a disk compression software (DRVSPACE?) or security driver installed? What does DR-OpenDOS FDISK know about the drives partitioning? Please try a clean boot with F5/F7/F8 to get rid of any extra driver, and try to access your C: drive from this minimal setup. Hope this helps (please tell us your results), Matthias ------------------------------------------------------------ Matthias Paul eMail: Web: http://www.rhrz.uni-bonn.de/~uzs180/mpdokeng.html
