Since you are not running BootManager, you don't have this problem.

Not at all. Windows makes it's own rules. W2K has a disk administrator
which is similar to LVM in its ability to assign arbitrary drive letters.

What is possible is that while recovering from some upset, Windows decided
to offer to reformat the HPFS partition.

It's also possible that it just got mismarked somehow. If this is the
case, dfsee can probably fix it.

Try using the low performance settings. Perhaps you are having I/O
problems. eCS 1.2 ships with a recent version of danis506 and it might not
be picking the best settings for your hardware.
