Pres,

> Sounds like you have LBA enabled in cmos setup. Suggest you leave off
LBA/UDMA/etc..just try PIO first. (you can always enable it later)<
Well, I don't know what LBA is, there is no such thing for me to set in my
SCSI BIOS that I was able to find. UDMA is disabled, and PIO only appears in
conjunction with IDE drives, which I don't have installed. In fact, all IDE
support is currently disabled.

I managed to disable the onboard AHA BIOS, and this gave me the following
error message:

HA #0 failed to read or invalid BOOT record.

So this appears as if DOS never checks for FAT partitions that are not the
first partition on the HDD. It is still strange, though, that the 2 CD
drives are assigned letters D and E skipping C. I would have expected the cd
drives to be C and D, if no FAT partition is recognized.

At least it does not appear to be a driver problem any longer....

Does anyone know if it would make a difference to use OpenDOS 7.02 (or
7.03 - where do I get that, anyway)? Drive Image gave me OpenDOS 7.01.
