Hi,

  Yes another bonehead with a problem. I'm trying to set up a new IDE drive
on my system and keep getting stack overflow problems. One strange thing I
found is that the when I display partition information, under the system
category it says I have FAT12 (12-bit file allocation problem). Does anyone
have any idea why dos5.0 would do this and not set up a FAT16?

thanks,
  Oliver
