Hello,

I have given up on the intermittent problem I have with my Western Digital
drive, and got a Maxtor 5.1 GB.  I got DriveCopy free with the purchase and
tried it.  It wouldn't work because of 'overlapping partitions'.  (Maybe
that is the problem with the WD?)  So I tried XCOPY32 with the /e switch.
It seemed to do it's job, but when I try to boot it, I see the Win95 logo,
and then C:\>.  Kind of like booting from a floppy.

So, what did I miss?  I suppose I can reinstall Windows, but what a pain.
Besides I want to learn something more than just how to install software.
Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.
