     I admit I nearly puked a couple of times after failed sstor 
installations!  There is an UPDATE function that is used to move drivers 
into the non-compressed partition if they are listed before the sstor 
drivers.  Any attempts at doing this manually screws up.  
     
IMPORTANT!!!  Take an evening and run the repair and defrag programs.

     Pull all the 386max stuff out of D: that you put there yourself.  Then, 
edit your config.sys to put them before the sstor drivers.  Then, run the 
UPDATE utility.  This moves any drivers called before the sstor drivers into 
the uncompressed partition.  This should still "point" to the right place.  
Remember, there IS no D: until the sstor drivers run, and you will go quite 
berserk trying to out-guess the system.

     Once you get the blasted thing running, run the repair, check, and 
defrag utilities at least once a week.  Good luck!
