Good. FYI, I am running Windows 2000, 5.00.2195, Service Pack 3.

Last I installed eCS (July 2003?), I could not get Boot Manager
to work properly, so I ended up using Air-Boot.

I was away on business for about a year, so I was not home when
the damage was done, probably by my son. I am somewhat at a loss
to explain HOW he did it, but it appears that he reformatted my
eCS partition as a FAT32 partition. He is a responsible young
man so I'm sure he did not do it on purpose. Also, I had
installed eCS on a primary partition, which I had thought would
be invisible from Windows.

If you are referring to my now destroyed eCS installation, yes,
I used Dani's drivers, but it has been too long for me to
remember which versions(s) and which options I used. When
booting from the installation CDs I use the default settings.

Thanks,
John
