James,

I failed to mention that I am using PowerQuest's BootMagic to do the dual boot process, not Win2K. I would like to see any info you might have though. Thanks.

Vern

They've got me on some new meds this week, so this might make even less sense
than some of my normal scribblings. ;-)

BUT, there was a known issue with W2K dual boot loading some drivers _before_
you get to select the OS you want to run from the Boot Menu.

A knowledgebase search might turn up something on MS.com, but I'll check the
messages I saved from the W2K Beta NG as I seem to recall there was a solution
posted for this.

Can't do it tonight, I'm on the road.

Regards,

James
