Sylvain, Thanks. This just might work for me. Although in my initial
tests, I have tried to set this up on a floppy only boot system, and the
setup wants to set it up on the C drive. I will work this out and see if I
can get it to boot up on a floppy only system.

It does work with floppy only i did it. First install in a hard disk then copy the content of c:\net to the floppy under a:\net
create appropriate autoexec.bat and config.sys.

for the loggin check file system.ini in c:\net and change to required
value it works for m. I use this disk when the local hard drive fail
once connected, i do a FORMAT C: /S from the boot disk then I run a special program on the F: drive(network Drive) to rebuild the content
of the new hard drive (replacement)


Hope this help
