Hi Doug. I only have the one hard 6.4 GIG hard drive. I don't know what that "wd2" is. Is that possibly a wrong partition? Is there a way to change it to a different "wd" in the install program(if such a thing exists). My current configuration is this: C drive (2.1 GIG or 33% of drive) 1839M used, 229M unused D drive (2.1 GIG or 33% of drive) 1526M used, 590M unused E drive (no longer exists, used to be the last 33%) But the installation program still says: Disk name: wd2 Disk Geometry: 512 cyls/12 heads/32 sectors = 196608 sectors Offset Size End Name Ptype Desc Subtype Flags 0 32 31 - 6 unused 0 32 196192 196223 wd2s1 2 fat 6 = 196224 384 196607 - 6 unused 0 What keys do you suggest I type at this screen to get to the right partition?
