I had a similar problem, all I did to correct this was to open notepad
and load the Autoexec.bat file, then I opened a new notepad and loaded
the Dosstart.bat so in effect I had two notepad windows open with the
respective files, I high lighted the drivers in the Autoexec.bat that
I required and clicked on the copy menu, I then went to the
Dosstart.bat in the other notepad window and placed the cursor were I
wanted the specified drivers pasting, I then clicked on the paste
menu, hey presto! done. I just shut the notepad windows and the window
containing the Dosstart.bat asked me if I would like to save the
changes, I clicked yes, this may seem a long way round about doing
this but it as never failed me yet, some one may be able to give you
another way that's quicker, good Luck,
