It sounds like you are mixing and matching driver versions.

When you boot with the Warp4 boot diskettes, are all the drive letters
correct?

What's the result of dfsee's:

dfsquery.cmd

fdisk is seeing the drives in the order the drivers defined them to the
OS. As I mentioned by this is controlled somewhat by they driver load
order.

I can only guess that your versions of PQM are old enough to be broken for
your modern hardware.
