I have just tried to install a brand new Maxtor h/drive in an old PC. Using a start-up disk in a: I successfully started the formatting and partitioning part of the installation, but must have got something in the wrong sequence, as I got a series of error messages, (which I can't now remeber). after 2 or 3 re-boots I seemed to be OK and created a c: and D drive. I loaded windows 3.1 from floppies (CD-Rom driver not yet installed). On re-boot from this, the PC now 'locks up'. It recognises the floppy drive, starts to boot, and then starts to check the harddrive (I can hear it respond with a click) but the the screen shows only a blinking cursor in top left corner and no further action.<br>Any help please <p> Doug<br><a href=mailto: doug.gray@contactbox.co.uk> doug.gray@contactbox.co.uk</a><br><a href= > </a><br> To be added when I can narrow it down a bit
