Greg,

If you have partitions over 2GB in Windows ME it is using FAT32, so :. the
DOS disk won't work.  You could however use a Windows 98 or Windows ME DOS
boot disk.

Tim

I have a MS-DOS-6.x boot floppy which boots my laptop but it
doesn't show me any of the hard disk partitions.  Is there some
magic file needed to tell it about drives other than `A:'?

If so, what's the syntax to get it to see the first partition
(which I want it to think of as drive C?

Or is it not possible for DOS to work with a Windows-ME disk?

Greg
