Date: 2 Jan 1994 07:55:13 GMT Organization: Deakin University, Victoria, Australia Lines: 12 Distribution: world Message-ID: <2g5ul1$qpr@sol.ccs.deakin.edu.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: eros.ccs.deakin.edu.au Just tried out X on my entire 102 MB hard disk in prep for a new 340 MB disk. Happy with life I turn back to dos to get back in the flow. Copy stuff back. Hit reset. Wham, no bootable partition. Check this forgot to make active partition. set to active, reformat, copy dos stuff back. reset. Same problem, OK, grab os2 disk, load the os2 partition editor. Hmm, say partition bootable. delete, recreate, set bootable, reset. format from dos. reset. Nothing. So anybody know the secret?. The disk is accesible but booting from floppy is not my idea of fun.
