Many thanks! Now all is working well. Why we cannot find detailed step by step
instructions
at Sunrise home page? Iīve read all the .TXT files and they are not very clear.
I have a doubt though:
Now I have two partitions:
-A: FAT-12 partition
-B: FAT-16 partition
and of course C: which refers to the floppy disk drive.
Why when I type 'D:' and then 'dir' an "Insert disk" message appears?
Isnīt floppy disk drive C:? Then, why D: also refers to floppy disk drive?
