> Perhaps your problem is the 'old dos hangup'.  DOS expects "C" drive to
be at the front of the disk, be bootable, and have its entries in the proper
part of the MBR, hence, your FAT disk is an imposter as it is not a properly
installed DOS "c" drive. <

I had thought that this only applies when you really want to *boot* from
C, which I  don't. When I had the IDE HDD in my computer, it was a logical
partition, hence not bootable, and DOS recognized it, anyway!
