I am running ATSpeed on my ST with an ICD hard drive. ATSpeed allows you to reassign hard disk partitions to facilitate booting gem and msdos. So, I boot my ST off c: and msdos off d: (under msdos, the names appear reversed, i.e. c: from ST shows up as d: under dos and d: from ST shows up as c: under dos). Everything was fine until I upgraded to MSDOS 5. For some reason, it will not recognize the d: drive (which is really c: under GEM). There seems to be some sort of incompatability between what the icd boot requires and what msdos 5 needs to read. I have reformatted the drive in question under msdos 5, but then the ST is not able to boot. When I fix the drive so the ST can boot, msdos 5 will not recognize the drive. Does anybody have any idea why this is so? and/or if there is a fix? The older versions of dos cause no problem...Which is good, I guess, because at least I have a fall back position. Thanks very much for any help you can offer. --Gerry ggreenbe@rodan.acs.syr.edu
