OK I stuffed up - I admit it <sigh>
Been using Norton goback 4 for some time, and unlike many had no problems.
It was "protecting" both my SATA 160gb drives ( Multiple partitions on
each).
the slave/secondary drive dies and had to be replaced. I DID disable (but
not uninstall) Goback before I installed the new drive.
Restarted without a problem.
NOT surprisingly, the new drive is NOT protected by Goback now. Decided to
uninstall and reinstall goback - CAN'T uninstall goback.!
After lengthy Symantec review :-( .......
Need access to dos boot environment (16bit).
So I Created a boot disk from XP pro.
booted into it(DOS) - no problems -BUT it doesn't see my Hard drives at all.
I assume there are some SATA type drivers needed that the create boot disk
routine has not included.
Any pointers on where I go from here.
All I want is a DOS boot disk that will see my drives.....

Thanks
Tack

Should also add..
Using Dell 8400 with native (?) sata control..... on board controllers at
least
NO raid configuration....

Not sure but, I think you need NTDOS try downloading it at bootdisc.com
if the format is NTFS regular dos won't see it. I have no idea how this
works for SATA drives.

If "see my drives" means being able to access NTFS partitions, you
need to use something like NTFSDOS or some version of linux that can
access NTFS.
