- Ok, of all the crazy things someone could do... I bought a new 5.25" HD drive
- for an old 8088 computer. Well, I can't get it to work on that computer...
- It works like a dream on my other computer. So far I've tried drive.sys, but
- as I'm sure most of you know, you can't redefine drive 0 or 1 (drive a or b).
- So it was a no go there. Then I tried drivpram to set it up as a HD drive.
- Well, that ALMOST worked. It will occasionally acknowledge the drive, and it
- goes through the boot check without any problems...AND when I try to format
- a disk in that drive it goes as far as to say, formatting 1.2, but then it
- gives me a general disk failure or some such... Any suggestions???? HELP!
- Please! Thanx, in advance...
