you need to use a boot disk from 98 or 95c no earlier because of fat32.. if
you use an earlier disk Fat16 you wont be able to access your hard disk..
any boot disk should do it.. no need for it to be one of them there
"startup" disks.

what do people here think about neptune?? with this many problems occuring
with people wanting dos in ME whats going to happen when its gone
completely!!! (or have MS whimped out again and included some form of dos?
anyone tried the beta??)
