- I'm glad to read, that another user has the same problem as me.
- In my machine exactly this error message appears at random times. I was
- in the happy situation of being able to completely install OS/2. The error
- seems to occur at HDD access, but not for each. In some cases the HDD LED keeps
- lit.
-
- My configuration:
- 40 MHz 386 DX
- 8 megs RAM
- 80 MB SCSI HDD, Seagate 1096 N
- SCSI controller Seagate ST02
- Trident SVGA (8800)
-
- Any hints would be appreciated.
- Axel.
