OH DO HELP, YE GODS OF SILICON DIVINITY! > > MATT I'm afraid there's no divine inspiration in this suggestion, in fact you may regard it as the suggestion from hell, but as a last resort, boot from the original EZBIOS bootable floppy and start over again :^( In my diagnostic efforts to determine why my L100CT wouldn't resume from hibernation/standby, I had the brilliant idea to boot straight from a W98 boot floppy, bypassing EZBIOS - HUGE mistake. Somehow EZBIOS wouldn't report at boot-up after that, but W98 would still load. The information in PM at that point was undecipherable, as you might guess. I booted from the EZBIOS floppy, repartitioned and formatted the HDD, and, ugh, reinstalled W98. It did work, though. You may have to uninstall EZBIOS in your case, before reconfiguring. Good luck, hopefully there's a less destructive answer on the way.
