drive. It needs to be partitioned and formatted. My old
one blew up, so no chance to transfer files & settings.
The PC won't boot with the XP disk, so I'm using the six
floppy setup boot disks. But I'm getting the blue screen
stop message: unmountable boot volume. A couple of
knowledgebase articles seem to deal with this (with
different explanations). One refers to using the recovery
panel, but selecting this option prompts for a disk: no
idea where to find that (a search throws up nothing).
Another KB suggestion is to turn off caching, etc. I am
using a new Gigabyte motherboard and it does not seem to
have controls for such things. Have tried failsafe
startup.
