Anyway, it could be that you've messed up your boot record. If so, try booting from a diskette with fdisk on it and at the command prompt type fdisk /MBR (you might have to pass it a drive letter, I don't remember and don't use Windows anymore). That should restore your boot record. If it works, great! If not, let me know and I'll see what else I can come up with. Joeb
