I have gone into fdisk (linux's fdisk) and make /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda2 bootable. hda1 is a fat32 partition, hda3 is my linux root partition. when I run suse 9.3, no problem, but when I try to boot to dos, it says 'not a bootable drive'. what do i need to do. I am currently running freedos with 4dos as a command.com. -- John R. Sowden AMERICAN SENTRY SYSTEMS, INC.
