Hi Alain, most likely UIDE disturbs the BIOS boot drive emulation I have no idea if UIDE can work around this.
you can work around this by create a virtual disk copy A: to virtual disk (including autoexec.bat) so that A: is no longer needed execute autoexec.bat from virtual disk only then DEVLOAD a:\dos\uide.sys /D:CDROM Tom am 17.
