But after reboot I still have dos7. Thank you again Bob! Any more ideas about making disk bootable in os other than dos7? I heard something about rewriting boot sector with help of disk editor. Could it help? Best regards, Nikolay Volosevich MCP [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
