I would really appreciate some help.

I have a Compaq Presario 9642, P233 80 MB /7.3 GB running Windows 95.  I
have just installed a new Maxtor Hard Drive and everything seems to be
working except for one problem.

Whenever I boot the system, I get this error:

"1791 - Disk 1 Error"

I then get the option to tell the machine to boot; when I do, it will boot
normally.  What can I do to fix this error?

Thank you,

KLM

PS

Please respond to me directly - I don't get to these newgroups too often.
