I've been trying to install Netware 5 for the last week and I am at my wit's end as to what to try next. I get no error messages, it just echos install and a line of dots underneath, then reboots. I made the DOS partition (both 50M and a 750MB at different times) with 6.22 fdisk, formatted and copied the system files onto the partiton, installed the CD drivers and let that program make autoexec/config files so there was no himem involved. I tried to access Novell's hardward list but couldn't access the server so I don't know if all my equipment is "certified" -- my set up is a 6.5G Seagate IDE drive, a 50X Antec IDE CD-ROM, 96M of RAM, Gigabyte Mb with Ali chipset, LinkSys EtherFast 10/100 LanCard, and a Creative Labs Riva TNT Pci video board with 16M of RAM. I do have a 750M partition at the beginning of the hard drive that was made with Partition Magic and formatted for Linux that DOS sees as non-DOS. Could this be a problem? I'm a student and have wasted my whole spring break trying to make some headway. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Carmela
