The author says that the first active partition on hd0 must be a FAT16 partition. This would require me to repartition drive 0. The only tool I trust to repartition Windows partitions (this is from experience) is PartitionMagic.
From my own experience, I don't really trust PartitionMagic any more. It
was good when it came out. The only programs I would trust today, because of experience, is the program that comes with Boot It NG http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/bootitng.html or the newest qtparted that comes with new Linux distros. There may be other good ones out there, of course, but I have no experience with them. -- John DeCarlo, My Views Are My Own ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
