You have a working set of utility diskettes. The boot diskette will do
just fine as utility diskettes. It's not time to delete the excess files
from the diskettes. This should give you room to copy the utilities such
as:

fdisk.com
format.com
attrib.exe

to diskette 3.

It shows as drive 2 because your config.sys is set so the SCSI driver
loads first and the IDE driver loads second. This is what you want if you
are booting from the SCSI drive.

This will have no effect on WinXX, per se. WinXX has its own rules and
will probably end up seeing the IDE drive first. This you need to test.

Post the config.sys from the AMD system and the fdisk /query:all output
and I'll show you what to change.

Start a new thread for this one. I've fixed a few Netware setups in my
time. Post copies of config.sys, lantran.log, protocol.in and net.cfg
from the P2 box.

You probably lost a protocol when you add the TCP/IP protocol for DSL.
