Greetings, Could one of you kind folks help me out on this please.. I downloaded the demo_dsk.ibm and rawrite.exe on to a Zenith. Followed the instructions in the README file, and started Minix up. It starts up with the disk drive "making a weird noise". Then I get the menu to which I press the "=" key. Here is where the problem starts I get the following message "kernel panic: cant read partition table of winchester 0" "press key to reboot" If this is any help I am trying to boot the demo disk on a Zenith Data Systems ZF-158-42 model ( 640k, two 5.25 360k drives ). Please be kind enough to email me any solutions or suggestions you may have. thank you - niranjan -- ___________________________________________________________________ Niranjan Perera University Of Georgia, Athens Email: perera@athena.cs.uga.edu "Programmers are playwriters.
