Hi.
I used to have boot easy handling my system OK.
It had a 1.2 Gig WD IDE and a 1Gig Hitachi SCSI HD off of a Adaptec
1542cp.
All went well until I ran out of disk space.
IDE had 900Meg Dos FAT
300Meg NT3.51 FAT
SCSI 900Meg FreeBSD
300Meg FAT
I added a 2Gig Quantum IDE and set it up 1 Gig FAT for Dos and 95
as well as 500MegFAT NT3.51 and another 500Meg Fat.
The Quantum ended up being the new Primary master and the older WD as the
secondary master. A Mitsumi ATAPI CD-ROM is the primary slave.
The MB has an intel VX chipset.
Now I cant get booteasy onto the quantum, actually I can but it only has
one option, "F1: Dos".
If I disable the Primary disk in Bios I will boot from the WD and all is well
still (except I over wrote sysconfig at some stage!) I can get to FBSD.
I hope someone can tell me what to tell BootEasy so it will do its job.
TIA
Josh
PS if you could Email direct to me as well as posting, it would be great.
