I installed DOS 5.00 (the Upgrade), and after fixing it a bit (adding
some statements that were in my old autoexec.bat and config.sys), I ran
Windows.  I wanted to start CorelDraw, but the path was invalid.

What happened what that, except for C:, all drive has been conpletely mixed
up.  I have two 70Mb hard disks, and each one is divided in 3 partitions.
(BTW, I was using the NEC version of MS-DOS 3.30).

SO my drives were going from C: to H:.  Now, they are in the order
C: H: (was D:), G: (was E:), D: (was F:), E: (was G:) and F: (was H:).

It was a pain to set up the system back so that everithing would work again.

Anyway, did this happen to anybody else?  What could cause this sort of
problem???

Thanks,

Andre
