HELP !!!!!
    Recently I installed Stacker on a Friend's machine which was a 286 with two
physically distinct internal hard drives C: and D:. When I installed it, it par-tioned the C: drive into C: and D:(the compressed Stacker drive). Now he is un- able to gain access to his  
 original D: pysically seperate drive. I thought that if I booted the machine 
 from the floppy drive that it would allow me to get to the original drive but,
 instead if I do that, it then refuses to recognize either the original D: driveor the Stacker D: drive, giving me an invalid drive specification error in both
 instances. If I go to CMOS the second drive is still installed. Since I've onlyregistered the software for my machine at home with Stacker I cannot call their support line for help. If anyone can give some rather detailed instructions for me I would really appreciate it.
