WINDOGS

[Scott Lawton]

I got the machine home and put the drives in, but it wouldn't detect the 
Primary master. After 5 reboots and cable position swapping, I have 
determined that part of the problem must be a bad IDE cable. If the 
drives are in the bays, the BIOS will detect the drive connected to the 
plug at the end of the cable, but not the one connected to the middle. 
If that drive is left dangling by the cable, instead of mounted in the 
drive bay, all is fine. Go figure !!

All my progam paths are screwed up now because of the addition of the 
second drive. What used to be D: is now F:. If  I swap the jumpers so 
what is master will be slave, and what is slave will be master, in order 
to make D be D again, will the blow out LiLo again ?
There will still only be Mandrake and Win 98.

I have unpartioned space left on the drive with Win 98. Is it possible 
to some how move the Mandrake "en masse" to that space so I can try to 
fix Windogs ?
Windogs is listed as a file now, not a directory. I want to try to fix 
it, and one of the install options on my old copy of windows [ on 13 
floppies ] is repair/replace missing or corrupted files, but it would 
rewrite the MBR again.
