After having my computer window free for two years I found out that I wanted to make use of windows on a very restricted way. A friend has installed me Windows 95 on a new hard disk in my holiday and as I returned at least windows worked fine. As my original disk was not involved in the installation (I had it at home ;-)) I switched the Windows drive to the secondary position and my original drive in first position. Boot up as usual with a lot of text but after Lilo (which gives me the possibility to work with linux) informed me "cannot load dos press key to retry". A retry gave the same info. Starting Linux gave no problem at all. After changing the startup in the CMOS to bootup D,A,SCSI it ran windows without hesitation renaming the d drive into C and going back to DOS gave me the C drive as D drive. Looking into the autoexec and config I could not discover any problems. Also the DRdos sys files were there and seemed ok. Before I reinstall everything I would like to know if I can have DrDOS, Linux and Windows on my two drives. Can I start in Drdos and start windows from there and what do I have to do in order to achieve above? I would prefer to have my Dos programs on the C drive but I have the feeling that windows wants to have that C drive also.
