I have no idea why /E!!  Somehow mount.exe is reading your C: drive
mounted at /E.

Which version of OpenDX are you using?

NT is of course is a much better choice.

A bit off topic -- but I am considering putting the dual-boot
documents at my web page or David my consider putting it on
Opendx.org.  These documents describe how to install Windows 9x, NT,
Linux and Solaris/x86  on the same machine.  All these operating
systems can co-exists on a single CPU.  The users can boot into the
operating system of their choice.  Considering the cost of an
X-server for Windows, at the moment, it is a lot cheaper to setup
your machine in dual or triple boot mood.  Linux cosst around $50.00
and Solaris/x86 (versions 8 and 7) for Personal use costs
approx.$20.00 for S&H and media cost.
