hmm, yes it *is* 16 heads. But before I try this thing
can you recall trying to boot WinXP after running
(win95)fdisk /mbr? In my case the boot.ini file on the
c:\ drive actually opens giving me a choice of WinXP
and the Recovery Console but clicking one or the other
just leads to a blank screen. Seems if I can reach
boot.ini all should be OK windows-wise.
