Don, Prior to the problem starting, we had modified nothing that I can think of. Would a low level format of the drive, followed by the FORMAT command to each partition straighten things out? My drive currently has WORK:(31 meg), WB_2.x: (6 meg), and WB_1.3 (2 meg) on it. WB_1.3 is not visible when I'm operating in OS 2.04 (which is 100% of the time). I don't really need that partition, so I guess I could increase the 31 meg partion by 2 megs? I plan to boot, transfer operation to a Syquest drive ASSIGN SYS: SYQ1:System2.0 that has all the data from both partitions on it, low level format and high level format my hard drive, and then copy all the information back to the new, blank partitions from the Syquest. Do you think this will help? Thanks, Rich – via Whap!
