Eric, Thanks for the tip to avoid having to switch the drives, unfortunately, I already tried to switch the drives and it did not work. Yes, the partition was marked as bootable.
I think that switching the drive location may have, originally, been the problem. Unfortunately, having tried several different ways to get it bootable I think that I have trashed the partition boot sector. Is there any way to restore this, short of reinstalling with a boot floppy that I do not have? > On Fri, Nov 16, 2001 at 02:23:44PM -0600, Kent West wrote: > > Win95 expects to be the first drive on the first chain.
