That would help, and if you need a PartInfo utility, just holler. :-) I tried again with a new drive, first creating a 1 GB, C: Primary partition and everything else in an extended partition with 7 logical 2 GB FAT-16 drives, but no joy. :( The second time I created one big extended partition with all logicals, but DOS 6.22 still won't see anything past around 8.2 GB . At least I got three more/new 2 GB drives for native DOS (from 6 to 9!) by adding an additional/third physical drive .
