I am really getting myself in trouble now...I have been trying to reinstall
WinME on one of my hard drives....I've had some issues with the drives (see
earlier messages below).  Now, I have a 20G drive that I can't figure out
how to change from "non-dos" to "dos"...I have another drive that I can't
"see" in my computer....I can't scrap the whole thing and use just one
drive, because I can't get info from one to the other if I can't access both
at the same time....

Stuck and in trouble....

                 would like to reinstall my system software (WinME) on a
separate partition
                of my C drive.  Right now, I have:

                20 G drive (my C and D "drive")
                6 G   drive (my E and F "drive")

                I know that you can set the boot drive in the BIOS...but how
would one set a
                2nd partition of a drive to be the boot drive?

                Thanks in advance

                further adventures...

                I Have 2 drives in my system...in the BIOS, when I set the
"2nd" drive as
                the boot drive, I am able to access both drives when I am up
and running.
                However, when the "1ST" drive is the boot drive, I can only
see the one
                drive.  I know this is common stuff and that I should
remember it all,
                but....how do you use the 1st drive as the C drive and have
access to the
                other drive in "my computer"...

                stupid question I know.  thanks for the help.
