Williams)NNTP-Posting-Host: hela.ins.cwru.eduHi,The subject line says it all.  My system acts weird at times.  All of asudden the system will be corrupt, boot blocks will get chewed, etc.This was a really big problem for a while.  I couldn't even format mydrive properly.  I installed HDT's driver and things got better.  Nowall I have to do is reinstall the system.  Could an incompatibility exist between it and a Quantum external drive.I'm looking for a pure hardware solution.  It's not a virus, badsoftware, etc.  Could I have a bad SCSI cable?  Or is the IBM (WDS-80)just a screwey drive?Thanks,Chuck-- Chuck Williams ==> CS Intern ==> Pacific Northwest Laboratoriesda228@cleveland.freenet.educg_williams@ccmail.pnl.gov
