Applied SYS C: transferring system files to C: ZIP-100 disk(FAT32) Rebooted, reset BIOS bootup sequence to ZIP-100 as first boot devise. Booted fine! Note; this particular ZIP disk WAS FAT32 before transferring system files. Note; This disk remains seen as FAT32 under WinXP Files in [JLilly.zip]; Result - done prior to transferring system files (when ZIP-100 was still FAT 32 & NOT bootable) reslt2 - done after transferring system files. ZIP disk now bootable screen01.bmp - fdisk /info screen capture screen02.bmp - fdisk /status screen capture screen03.bmp - fdisk /dump screen capture (AFTER system files were transferred) screen04.bmp - SYS C: screen capture of system files transfer to a FAT32 ZIP-100 disk, prepped by SpinRite. Was unbootable. But after system files transfer is now bootable. Note errors captured on screen. -- Jim Lilly - Team Z http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/teamzBios.jsp Using - Virtual Access(OLR), ZAP 4.5, & WinXP Pro w/SP1 http://www.virtual-access.org ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
