- But i have found the key... (and it was *so* easy!) After i tried to
- move it manually (with xcopy /s /e) and changing os2sys.ini -- what
- didn't work -- i did it like this (please don't shout at me!): i
- simply opened the drive C folder and the drive D folder, and --
- dragged the desktop folder from one drive to the other. That was it.
-
- BTW: when i tried to drag the `old' tree on drive D back to drive C,
- it simply disappeared, leaving only some lost clusters on my HD...
- After i unzipped my backup (good to have one!) of those directories to
- drive C, the GA booted happily ever after...
-
- Moral: it is not *always* useful or necessary to cheat your OS. There
- *are* tasks that can be met by means documented in the manuals... ;-)
