I need to move on to real support issues right now, so I haven't read
the entire thread available right now, _but_ you mention using SSTOR.

The things that I need to see are:

The CONFIG.SYS on your bootable hard disk partition (non-compressed).
If you are loading DEVSWAP.COM, you will _not_ find it on drive C:, it
will probably be on drive D:. 

Next you'll need to find the file that this CONFIG.SYS CHAINs to with
"CHAIN=" and let us see it. 

Then, you'll need to show us the AUTOEXEC.BAT on your C: drive (this
is probably the one that you posted)... 

I suspect that the CONFIG.SYS that we saw is the wrong one because I
don't remember seeing the SSTOR.SYS driver (I could just be brain
damaged, but I'll check when I get another news timeslice).
