Hello, I had two ST-138 32 Mb harddisks in my Express (286 machine), and I removed the other one. I managed to boot it from a floppy disk but when I tried to boot it from the hard disk it simply said 'NO ROM BASIC, SYSTEM HALTED'. I thought that I got my cables mixed so I checked them and now it won't even boot from a floppy anymore :( Any idea what causes the message ? Another question: if I have a fixed disk (32 Mb) with 2 (16 Mb) partitions, is it possible to format (high-level) just one partition without data being destroyed on the other partition ? I'd be very grateful for any help you can give, thanks !
