Trouble installing Windows NT 2000

The Chosen One

During installation, my computer freezes after the main screen loads device drivers, and says Starting Windows 2000 I see it poll the com port (my modem lights flicker) and keyboard lights too. I think it's due to the Sound Blaster Live! because it used to install fine before I got it.

Wacom Penparter

Seldzar

Anyone had any sucess with the Wacom Penpartner? In 2114 I had it working fine with the latest win9x drivers, however as soon as I formatted and put in rc2 it won't detect it on either com1 or com2. Both com ports are detected by windows and seem to be installed fine.

Dynamic Partitions...yuck

Stasis

yeah, I made the mistake of changing 2 hard drives over to the new Dynamic Partitioning system, which I backed up all my data on, so I could go back to Win98. . . any ideas on how to access them from Win98 (or NT4?).
