- A friend of mine had the same: He installed a different video driver for his
- TRIDENT adapter card but it didn't work.
- So he wanted to boot with the installation disks but could not
- access the hard disk (No boot manger, HPFS, no other partitions).
- He then had to do a re-install, too.
-
- Anybody knowing the reason for that hidden disk ?
