I tried to email this, but it bounced (like about half or more of my email responses to net posters - I thought we had a semi-smart mailer here, but it's getting harder to distinguish that from a brain-dead mailer, but I digress). To the person who was debating about formatting bootable vs. non-bootable floppys and hard disks: Subject: Re: Installing a formatted disk Newsgroups: comp.sys.ibm.pc In-Reply-To: <1991Mar23.195212.26534@mprgate.mpr.ca> For a floppy disk, there are some utilities floating around which can move your files and FAT entries around so as to make a non-bootable floppy into a SYSable one. I wouldn't recommend this for a hard disk, though - always make your drive C bootable. It doesn't really take up that much room and it will save time in the long run when you decide to make it bootable anyway (trust me - you will). Regards.
