Subject:	SCOUG-Help: eCS on second HDD

Content Type: text/plain

This is my latest attempt to get eCS to play nice with others. This
game has been going on since the release of eCS 1.2 where SSI decided
they didn't want us to use FAT16 any more.

The first HDD has a single primary FAT16 containing FreeDOS and W98SE -
I mostly just use W98 for running scandisk. The rest is a single
extended; FAT16 & 32 carrying W4 and W2K. The drive letters are from C
thru H. All that works well.

The second HDD is a single extended with eCS on HPFS installed as I. If
it is the first and only drive it works OK. If it is the second drive,
it boots to the point where things are called specifically ffrom I, and
stops with the "unable to operate HDD". That to me has always meant
wrong drive letter. But, I don't know what drive it thinks it is at
that point.

The second drive, when it was the only drive, booted with BM, which
probably was not needed. After it wouldn't boot as the second I removed
BM from it. No change.

Ideas?
