Dave-
Now that XP boots, I can get some work done. I can even boot the DOS6.22 drive when I need to but I have to do that by going through CMOS setup and changing the drive order -- somewhat cumbersome. I played with BOOT.INI lines but couldn't find one that would let me select the DOS drive from a bootup menu. Any suggestions there?
Also, when I do boot DOS, I can't see my CD/DVD drive. I've loaded MSCDEX.EXE and the DOS driver ATAPICD.SYS in my CONFIG.SYS file but DOS doesn't see the drive. Could this be a hardware inconpatibility on my ASUS P5G41T-M LX motherboard? The drive works fine in XP.
One other strange thing: When browsing the DOS E: drive from XP, the AUTOEXEC.BAT file is not listed in the root directory. But when I boot that drive into DOS6.22, it's there! I'm not using BootMagic or PQboot (although I did in the past when the DOS drive was in another computer). Could PartitionMagic be doing this? I tried to uninstall PartionMagic from the DOS drive (while in DOS6.22) but I got the message "Log file C:\PQMAGIC\DEISLI.ISU is not valid or the data has been corrupted. Uninstallation will not continue". That file does exist but is empty.
Here are some DiskManager and PartitionMagic screenshots of my system:
