Re: OT -- I need Computer Help
All the drive manufacturers are different as far as jumpers (or no jumpers)
are concerned.
I try to stay away from cable select.
The problem I have been running into is the printing keeps getting smaller
and smaller and smaller...

Another little tidbit here, Win 95 and Win 98 (98 for certain) doesn't know
about NTFS, and Drive C doesn't even appear. I have a 98 Boot Diskette, and
it creates a virtual C that is 2Mb when the real C is 20Gb.
I'm waiting for the broadband download to finish. I think I'll just leave it
over night ...

Yeah, only 2000 and XP "know" about NTFS. The drive your 98 boot disk made
is called a ramdrive and I believe it is used to store some data that is
extracted from the floppy drive which allows you some extra DOS commands. My
oversight on the 98 boot disk method. I knew about the NTFS issue, but
didn't even think about it. There is also a program called NTFS DOS which is
a third party application, but it is not freeware. As a last resort, you can
install XP on a FAT32 partition and get it all running, and then convert to
NTFS, this is an option in XP, but let's hope you can get it all going once
you get the bootable CD.
