The tablet has a passive digitizer that is made to look like a mouse. The
machine originally came with win2k, so I am just trying to get a larger
HDD operational.

The crux of the problem is that the machine has only 1 HDD, no FDD, no
network port, no CDROM drive, just 1 USB port and a serial port. I need
to copy the win2k install files to the HDD on a partition other than the
boot partition so that I can install win2k to the boot partition. I got
it to work by putting the HDD in a desktop PC, installing DOS on C: and
putting the windows files on D:. Then I pull the HDD from the desktop
machine and install it in the tablet and run winnt.exe from D:. but the
DOS partition is too small for the installation so it makes a new
partition called E: and installs win2k there. On boot-up I am presented
with the choice of booting either DOS or Win2k. So far OK, but the driver
for the touch screen digitizer wants to install files on c:, but the OS
is on E: so the drivers don't work.

I need to get win2k onto the C: partition so that the touchscreen
digitizer drivers will work.

Now I am trying to use gparted to partition the HDD and copy win2k install
files to the D: partition. I need to make C: bootable somehow so I can
access the D: drive once the HDD is back inside the tablet.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

F
