I have 2.2.5 residing nicley on a 520 meg drive with booteasy installed. For some reason, I can no longer get past the PCIC check during bootup. I get the follwong message "wd0s1c: wdstart: timeout waiting to give command reading fsbn 1wd0: status 0 error 0" followed by the same with "error 1 ". I can't even use a boot floppy to get the install screen...the system just hangs after the PCIC check. If I take the HD out or put a different one in (like my win95 drive) it boots off the floppy fine. Thinking that it could be a booteasy problem I attempted to remove it with fdisk /mbr..but there was no chang (booteasy still there). I also tried to install OS-BS off the CD with no effect.... I"m open for suggestions... Michael G.
