I know of no reason that a higher wattage powersupply would cause you harm, the bigger the power supply, the less you would have to worry about if you added a second CD/DVD, additional HD's, expansion cards or extra case cooling fans. You might see if a friend has a bigger one, and see if you...

Am running Norton A/v, and yes, the options are set to scan the removable media when mounted, but it doesn't affect the cdrw or the zip the same way. The excessive seeking is only the a:/b: drive. btw, the o/s is win2kpro.

My 'inconvenience' is that during normal operation, my floppy drives will randomly start seeking, even without disks or query on my part. While I am on-line, while no one is using the machine, the drives will kick in and seek 2-3 times, then stop, a few minutes later it will repeat. Sometimes...

What is your overall harddrive size? Are you saying that the c: drive is partitioned at 23.3 Megabytes? A harddrive of that size is a bit small to be practical, for most applications. You might want to reformat, repartition to a single drive letter, or two equal sized partitions. Install...

Jakobud: I was having the same problem with a clean install of mine, same circumstances. I tried Strator's suggestion, win98 boot with fdisk /mbr... it cleared up my problem, and was actually able to boot from the cd at that point. Thanks a heap, Strator!
