Tried that and my hard drives were not recognized. This has passed way beyond 'annoying' into 'must kill'...

Boot into DOS mode with out a floppy. It's kind've hard to explain it more than that.

Er.. if you mean command promt within Windows, no. A real DOS command prompt, before Windows even gets loaded. That's what I need to boot into, without any floppy.

Partition your HD and install DOS on the partition. Then set that as the primary boot device <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">
