I was wondering if someone could shed some light on a problem with CrossPC. I recently decided to make a small HD partition into an MSDOS partition for use with CrossPC. I followed the instructions given in the manual and readme file and still cannot get CrossPC to boot from the partition. These are the steps that I took: – Set up an HD partition called PC using HDToolBox (fastfile system) – Used CrossDOS install program to "prep" an amiga partition as an MSDOS partition – Booted using CrossPC from PC0 (A:) and used FDISK to set up the partition as the primary dos partition. – formatted C: from CrossPC using command FORMAT C: /S/V Everything appears fine. I can copy files to and from C:. I can move through the directory structure, etc… The system was transferred and the files are on C:, but when I try to boot from C:, all I get is a blank screen and one quick blip on the HD light. The amiga is not locked up (I can switch back to Workbench), but the MSDOS side will not respond at all, no prompt, Ctrl Alt Delete will not reboot, etc… Also, the CrossPC icon has C=PCC as a tool type. If anyone has any suggestions I sure would appreciate it. Bill
