- <> I just recently purchased a Quantum 1.0GB 2.5" IDE internal drive for

- <> the first one (the bootable one) has an icon on my WB after I boot.
- <> Making others bootable didn't make a difference. When I run FORMAT
- <> (from the WB), the other partitions show up in the device list, but
- <> when I select one of them, format says "No disk in drive"

- <> Can anyone tell me what's wrong here?

- The only partition you should make bootable is the first
- one. All others should be nonbootable. Just use the Shell or
- a directory utility like DOpus to copy the disk.info from
- your bootable partition to all other partitions. They should
- all have an icon then. Of course, all partitions should have
- a different name. :-)
