*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE *** Another case of hardware/software apparent incompatabilities. I recently purchased a 40M Seagate hard disk for my AT. After formatting the disk with Mountain's Hard Disk Utility as a 15M and 25M volume, I could not boot from the hard disk w/DOS 3.0. Since In ormally run my machine at 9Mhz., I immediately changed it back to 6Mhz., but still no luck. After trying everything, my dealer (ENTRE in Fairfield NJ) called to say that this configuration would work w/DOS 3.1. They gave me DOS 3.1 for a greatly reduced price and everything's been fine since. Any ideas? Max Robin AT&T Bell Laboratories 201-386-6865 email:whuxg!2212msr

Format the disk again, this time using the FORMAT program provided on your DOS diskette. 2. Run the FDISK program that is on your DOS diskette. Make the partition from which you want to boot "active". Tom Reingold
