Wow. Make sure you get his autograph too.

But the rest is rock solid, right?

Minor detail.

Yes, obviously nothing to do with your problems.
Obviously it was the 137GB Windows bug, as Rod said.

Yeah, that must be real bad, that really goes without saying.
A single page printout obviously can't solve the problem.

So you wouldn't get an ear full from Netiv?
You probably still will for not trying.

So likely it thinks the bios doesn't support 48-bit LBA.
Either that or it is plain stupid.

You sure?
This is absolutely weird behaviour, not observed with standard bootloaders.

Fdisk doesn't (except maybe an occasional F6), but Format certainly does.

Now OK what?
Putting nothing but an empty formatted partition on the extra drive solved
the "Error 1 loading OS" error on the boot drive?

Yeah, thanks 'rod', for mentioning the Resqdisk program to him.
You were such a big help.
