I wonder if this is related to the fact that the partition table for m$ ignores the first 500 bytes or so of the partition. At any rate, this will resolve your problem. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net Nowlan's Theory: He who hesitates is not only lost, but several miles from the next freeway exit.
