Hello,

  This is a good, but in Windows 9X you do not need the Lastdrive Setting
anymore.  Windows 9X does this automatically in the GUI.

  Question for ya!  what type of SCSI controller do you have?  Do you have
a SCSI Hard drive that your C: - G: are logical on? We may have to change
the SCSI Bios settings.

  Also is the SCSI Bios setting the Jaz Drive as D:?  Is so, is three away
to not scan that SCSI ID in the Bios?

  I may have other Ideas.  Give those a try and let us know how it goes.
