What Tom> release are you running? I'm running a modified 1.1 system. The whole question is moot now, because I've moved the disk that contains the damaged partition to another box. I think one of two things happened: (1) the msdog partition was not synced when I rebooted and the reboot left it in an unstable state, or (2) DOSEMU (which I was running on the partition as well) left the partition in an unstable state when I exited. Today I realized a long-time dream of mine -- I built myself a second box for msdog and NT. Hopefully, I'll never have to run two operating systems on one machine again! I have both boxes connected to the same monitor, keyboard and mouse through a mechanical A/B switch (a local firm custom makes them). If there's anybody out there who is fed up with continually rebooting their machine because they are forced to run Windows software against their better judgment, I highly recommend this solution. -- Nathan L.
