I have exactly the same problem. I have deleted all partitions,
recreared them and re-deleted using DOS & OS/2 FDISK, Partition Magic
under OS/2 and WIN95, not to mention Norton Disk Doctor. I have a nasty
feeling I'm going to have to re-install DOS 6.22 and have a go at
editing the MBR in hex with Norton's Disk Tools (NU 8.0), but I am not
exactly delighted at the idea. I, too, wait to see if someone can wave a
magic wand for us. I think I did something stupid with LILO.
Help!
Sincerely
David Bellwood
