A client recently decided to upgrade his server to a
200 MHz Pentium with 128 Mb RAM and a Western Digital
Caviar 32500 hard drive (2.5 Gb).

I've not installed 3.12 before, but have installed 3.11.

I created a 200 Mb DOS partition using Win95's DOS.
I copied the Novell 3.12 files onto the partition.
I ran server.exe and loaded ide.dsk.
I loaded install, created a Netware partition with the
remaining disk space.  When I created and tried to mount
volume SYS: the routine failed.  If I run vrepair, it
wipes out the SYS volume.

What am I doing wrong?

I tried Shuttle HOT-553 and HOT-555 motherboards and
two different drives (though both Western DIgital).

Please cc: any replies to my e-mail address so that
I don't miss anything.

Thanks in advance.
