Many thanks! Now all is working well. Why we cannot find detailed step by step
instructions
at Sunrise home page? I�ve read all the .TXT files and they are not very clear.
I have a doubt though:
Now I have two partitions:
-A: FAT-12 partition
-B: FAT-16 partition
and of course C: which refers to the floppy disk drive.
Why when I type 'D:' and then 'dir' an "Insert disk" message appears?
Isn�t floppy disk drive C:? Then, why D: also refers to floppy disk drive?
