- I ran into the same problem recently. After two days of backing up,
- reformating, reinstalling, etc. I finally concluded that MODE32 seems to be
- incompatible with certain drive brands (or the other way around, depends on
- your view).
- I tried different driver software,eg SilverLining, FWD, Apple, etc. with
- the same (negative) result. There are no problems if I boot from a SyQuest
- cartridge. I eventually gave up and decided to buy a small 30MB disk to
- boot from.
