Hi Dilwyn, It seems like you may be booting SMSQ/E from elsewhere, to get it to start OK. Have you got it in RAM or ROM somewhere else on the machine ? As you know, a WIN DRIVE is just a large file held on a hard disk, so if it its not being read then hard drive is not being seen. >Help! > >When I power up my Minis-QL (Aurora/Super Gold Card/Qubide) the >opening screen where the rom versions etc are printed with the F1 >Monitor/F2 TV prompts, I get a message saying "this is not a Qubide >partition". But it starts up SMSQ/E and my boot program OK. Any >attempt then to DIR WIN1_ gives a "Not Found" error.
