Yep, you are right, I was mixed up. But I did not sort my config.sys. The one time I tried that, many years ago, was a failure. Never again.... It
is what it is. I will move helperw around tho, based on your comments.

That is encouraging, but then again, you have an older laptop version. All I know is that w/ uniaud installed the bootup traps (and stops) with
the error for fat32. If I comment out fat32 the bootup completes. At this point in time fat32 is more important to me than sound.

Yes, I have been trying to remember to follow the sound practices (is that a pun?). Sometimes I let it get away from me. I am very bad at
methodically writing down what I do. For this problem, I have 2 config.sys's. One with uniaud and one w/o. That makes it simpler to recover
when I need to do something constructive.
