Thanks for all your feedback on this Philip. Seems I ought to be able to
get W98 to install so that it doesn't have problems with files/folders on
>8GB partitions. I may try re-installing W98, and then maybe both W98 and
a new G: partition with file restored from backup if the basic W98
re-install doesn't work.

That was a 'Doh!' revelation for me the other day. I finally remebered
that I moved those M3U files to a sub-folder from where they were created
some time back. From there there the relative paths didn't work anymore.
There were only a few amony many that only had the relative paths set. So
it took quite a while for me to load one again, and discover the problem.
And then quite a while to jog my memory about moving those files.
I'll start a new thread on setting up W98 without E-Drive. Seems I should
be able to fix what I've already set up by going that way.
Matt
