RE: Sick of Jensen...will pay $$$ for good install...

["Champigny, Michael" <Michael Champigny compaq com>]

Actually, that is a damn good idea. It's a cop out, but then again,
I'm putting out bribes to get this installed, so maybe it's a way
out of this with my dignity left intact. :-)

I suppose with that approach I would just have to read up on SRM
for the proper way to boot off a hard drive partition. 

Thanks for the best suggestion so far!

Michael

Michael,
	This may be a naive approach, and even a bad thing to suggest to
customers, but...  Have you tried plugging the Jensen hard drive into
another box, installing on that, and then plugging it back into the Jensen?

It may be the wrong answer, but it might be quicker than trying to get the
Jensen to behave.  (Believe me, I feel your pain... I unsucessfully tried
to get a Jensen to work a few months ago...)
