( usually under advanced on award bios) THis is time consuming ( I only had to do it a couple of times booting off a couple of different hd's) as you have to wait for the computer to reset, also probably only an option on the pentium + m/b's. Basically the drive letter you pick for the boot becomes C: and re-assigns drive letters to other drives Don't know if this would solve the DR-DOs needing to be at the beginning of a drive but was just a thought.

Plus... Actually, if I had to choose between running the DRDOS COMMAND.COM under WinMe and having a fully functional WinMe/DRDOS dual boot, I'd choose the dual boot! But the reality is that I can have neither one! Alan S. 2-2-2001 Patrick Moran wrote: > > Instead of using a DOS window like it appears you did, make a DOS > mode icon and reboot into DRDOS 7.05.
