Re: [guide-user] Major problem in Guide 8/solution

Joe Mize Jan 29, 2002

Hey Bill;

"....full Moon..."? LOL! Oh, bummer, I've gotta gotta wait?

Yup, although no Raid, I do have my old 2Gb (D:\) slaved to my 10Gb which
is partitioned into two, (C:\ & E:\). That makes the CD Drive F:\. Maybe Guide
doesn't know to look to F:\. Gotta check Guide8.dat. Thkx...joe :)
