What size HD is this? Since you are using a 700mhz CPU,
obviously it is a new mobo that can accept large HD's. So,
you should not be installing disk manager. I have found that
it can actually cause some problems. Reformat the HD again
w/o DM, just format it the conventional way. You may have to
format using the DOS command and you'll have to have the
windows CD in to do that. Or, just fdisk again to clear
everything and let the windows cd do the formatting process.

Subject: [TechAssist] seagate hard drive problem
hello,
i have a stupid problem with a seagate st31720 hard drive. i
wanted to
re-install windows from scratch on a differant computer, and
i formatted the
whole drive and re partitioned it, without knowing you had to
install this
disk manager, anyway, i downloaded the disk manager and ran
fdisk one more
time, scandisk says no errors are found on the drive, so i
try to run setup
for window 98, it goes through scandisk, and after you exit
scandisk and go
to the screen where it says windows is installing files
nesacary for setup,
the computer freezes, i tried another disc and i get
differant errors, like
package is corrupt, and so on, everything looks ok in the
bios, i am using a
via 700MHZ processor, award bios, anyone have any ideas? this
thing is
driving me crazy.............im trying to put a computer
together for one of
my nephews, so any advice is much apreciate,
troy
