Hello chaps,
I am the proud owner of a 1200 classic to which I have added a 2gig internal hard drive - a zip100 and a second external hard drive thanks to idefix.Plus a scsi CD rom.Now dont laugh but how do I make the second partition bootable.
I install on expert - the system files are installed on DH1 (primary boot partition is DH0] and then when booting up I press down both mouse buttons to gain access to the startup control.On the boot options screen even though I have the system files on DH1 the panel tells me "enabled DH1 not bootable".What am I doing wrong.....I dont know ....help would be greatly appreciated...
