I made the boot floppy and booted with the -c option (since Micron decided to put my SCSI card at a different port address - blah!). When I select "Novice install" a window pops up to select which drive I want to work on (I have the BusLogic 946c controller with 2 1-Gig Conner drives plus the Plextor CD ROM. All of the devices are found). I select sd1 as the device since I want everything on the second hard disk (DOS/Windoze is on sd0). When the partition editor comes up, the only thing listed is something like: sd0s1 <none> DOS The second SCSI drive is currently my D: drive under DOS. I tried the "A" option but I get the error "This option valid only on master partition" or something like that. After going blind reading the on-line help, CD-ROM insert, and INSTALL.TXT I can't seem to figure out how to partition the disk correctly. Can someone please shed some light on this please? Thanks much in advance! Jeff
