Yep, I got those two also. ( and two more about two weeks ago )

All that many (defined) disks _could be_ the reason
why the actual 'syslinux' command doesn't work.


Back to:
  syslinux -sma -d syslinux o:  
which is in four simular messages from the same poster.
(being persistent is good (making progress is better))

On http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX
is an example that says 
  syslinux.exe -m -a -d /boot/syslinux z:


So now I'm curious what happens on WIN98SE when
  syslinux -s -m -a -d /syslinux o:  
is executed. (note the extra spaces, dashes & slash ( ' ', '-' & '/' ))
