- I need to move on to real support issues right now, so I haven't read
- the entire thread available right now, _but_ you mention using SSTOR.
-
- The things that I need to see are:
-
- The CONFIG.SYS on your bootable hard disk partition (non-compressed).
- If you are loading DEVSWAP.COM, you will _not_ find it on drive C:, it
- will probably be on drive D:.
-
- Next you'll need to find the file that this CONFIG.SYS CHAINs to with
- "CHAIN=" and let us see it.
-
- Then, you'll need to show us the AUTOEXEC.BAT on your C: drive (this
- is probably the one that you posted)...
-
- I suspect that the CONFIG.SYS that we saw is the wrong one because I
- don't remember seeing the SSTOR.SYS driver (I could just be brain
- damaged, but I'll check when I get another news timeslice).
