Can you boot from floppy?  Can you partition and format the hard drive?

If so, you should be able to copy the system manually to the partition you wish to boot from.

I understand that you ultimately want a clean and complete 3.1 install as a foundation to a new system.

Of course I could boot :D my install disk was in great shape :D it was some other disk in the chain that must've been corrupt but not enough for the install to notice.

Running clean 3.1 now !


Glad its working.  Keep us posted on your next moves.  It will be fun to see where you go from here.

You might want to give BetterWB a try now you've got 3.1 installed.

Better to do it before you make changes or additions to 3.1.
