Is this an external drive as many Phillips were. If so delete you port or usb hub-put os disk in cdrom-reboot system. If an internal drive then -if you have not added any new hardware or upgraded to aol 8.0-then you try a disc drive cleaner. If that does not work check to see how much mem you...

1.5-sounds like an old ibm hdd 1.2 or 1.6/7 were the universal could have ibm buffer - or your motherboard is unable to define current mbr. are you sure that not a compressed hdd under dos

I know you are frustrated here by now. An issue that I have not seen mentioned by you. Did ytou clear out the protected buffer on all proprietary computers. Dell, Compaq, HP, IBM-all come with failsafe/default-reboot partitions-that holds OS/drivers for thir computers. In other words though you...

STOP! You are about to really mess-up here! Key information given to You. You should not attempt to put win95 on any new hdd. MS nor current manufacturers support win95. WIN95 cannot read/supply the new ata/atapi information nor the buffers on new hdd. so in lies your problem. The new hdd...

WHAT I BELIEVE I SEE HERE IS A MB WITH DEFAULT SETTINGS. PLEASE GO TO YOUR CMOS/BIOS TABLE AND TURN ON ALL YOUR MB FEATURES.

I SEE A FEW ISSUES HERE. YOUR SCSI HARDWARE WILL ALWAYS TAKE PRIMARY-THE CARD BOOTS AT STARTUP SO YOUR SCSI IS PRIMARY. THE IDE DRIVE HAS TO BE SET TO EVEN THOUGH ITS ON IDE CHANNEL HAS TO BE SLAVED. OTHERWISE THEY BOTH WILL TRY 2 BOOT .YOU CAN HAVE A DIFFERENT OS OR NT BUT SET TO SLAVE. THATS...

Lets be clear here from the beginning! fdisk is strictly a floppy -cold boot function. Are you using a win 95 boot disk? Good/ When the screen gives a choice of of continuing or entering setup-You go to setup=That is your Bios/Cmos table! do not continue! To help you get into table faster-...

I HAVE READ OVER YOUR SUBMISSION. I have concerns in 2 areas. You stated that you added a virus protector after incident. Did you have a virus protector on there before?! Adding it on now only complicates the removal of a possible klez infection. My experience has been that klez is penetrating...
