Can anybody offer any suggestions on how to get my command prompt working? I have Beta 2.0RC1 developer on both drives, and because of the bad sectors on the 18GB drive I don't think I can install any other software version on it. I am using "Hyperterminal Private Edition v.6.3" by Hilgraeve as my terminal program. Before I started this disk swap process, I was able to get a shell prompt (on the 18 GB drive) using this program, but now I cannot.

The woes of your 18Gb drive won't be affecting Hyperterminal access. Can you try it with a different cable, or using a different serial port or PC?
