Hi Steve, Thanks for the response, but I don't think that's the problem. For
One thing, during some of the myriad of things I tried, I went into the bios
and disabled the two win32 drives, and it still wouldn't work. Anyway, I
dont want to have to go through all the muck of moving files and changing
partitions and stuff.,...but then again, the drive letters wouldn't change,
would they? hmmm. maybe it's worth a try but if someone can figure out
something better, please let me know. I'll hold off for now. Anyway thanks
again for the advice.
