Hi Dave: There is a very clever, free, boot loader called GAG which will give you a menu at boot time (press 1 for XP, 2 for DOS sort of thing) and default to whichever you want after a few seconds.

Hi J: The most important thing to do to try to recover is NOT to write anything to that disk drive. Minimize any access to it. Don't boot from that drive if you can possibly avoid it. Do you have ano
Good morning, again, J: According to the TR manual, logback.dat is the default name for the automatically generated floppy disk save file. Also, if there isn't a FLOPPY SAVE FILE line in logcfg.dat,
