Is there any chance that you used FIPS to split the DOS partition? Maybe, just maybe fips screwed something up so much that DOS went wacky? Even that just doesn't seem right... > Have I got space aliens loose or what? DOS virus is unlikely, since the > DOS install was from fresh write protected MS (tm) disks. You're sure it's not this? I'm no viral expert, but maybe (just maybe) there was a virus when you did the first `fdisk /mbr' from dos. The virus (or some other) then took the opportunity to infect the mbr. Then, when you reinstalled DOS it infected DOS again. Then it caused it's problems again? -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk
