I know how to make Windows not see those drives,but then Windows can't see those drives. :-) I want those drives to be VISIBLE to Windows (so I can look at my data,or access a DR-DOS command,rather than use the pathetic MS-DOS equivalent),but I don't want Windows UPDATING those drives (since I'll be using DR-DOS utilities on them). I think what I said earlier will work - finish all the Windows installs,and then organise the DR-DOS partitions (I haven't tried the deltree command,since presently I don't NEED to - the disks are clean at the moment,from having fixed it earlier with a re-format). regards, DONALD - Left-Brain Extraordinaire,Right-Brain in Rehab.
