Hello all,

        I need some advice after a new hard drive installation.  First of
all, some details.  Originally had a WD 1.2GB drive as master and a
little 80MB as slave for files only.  I bought a WD 3.2GB to replace
the 1.2GB and used DriveCopy to copy all applications and everything
else from one to the other.  After a successful copy, I then put
back in my little 80MB as slave once again.  (I kept everything on
the original 1.2GB and set it aside just in case I had problems.)

        Here's my problem; somewhere in the middle of the whole process,
something happened to cause my system to go to MS-DOS Compatibility
Mode.  Windows Help says that...


"Windows was unable to identify a real-mode driver or
memory-resident program loaded in your Config.sys or Autoexec.bat
file."


        Now, I went to the Config.sys and REM'd out the only 2 lines in
there, but it didn't do any good.  Below are my Config.sys and
Autoexec.bat files.


rem device=C:\VIDE-CDD.SYS /D:OEMCD001
rem DEVICE=C:\DIAMOND\SANYO.SYS /D:DMSCD01

and

SET SOUND=C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\CTSND
SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H1 P330 T6
@C:\PROGRA~1\NORTON~1\NAVBOOT.EXE /STARTUP
PATH=%PATH%;C:\DIAMOND


        See anything there that's causing the problem??  Any help would be
appreciated!!  It's driving me nuts.  I probably just don't
understand MS-DOS Compatibility Mode stuff well enough.
