I just had a 1 Gig Western Digital disk installed. When I invoke Windows, I receive the following message: QUOTE The Microsoft Windows 32-bit disk driver (WDCTRL) cannot be loaded. There is unrecognizable disk software installed on this computer. The address that MS-DOS uses to communicate with the hard disk has been changed. Some software, such as disk-caching software, changes this address. If you aren't running such software, you should run a virus-detection program to make sure there is no virus on your computer. To continue starting Windows without using the 32-bit kisk driver, press any key. END QUOTE Any suggestions re: what I should do? Thanks in advance.

It seems Windows takes a conservative approach to hardware recognition and disables 32 bit access if it gets confused. Take a look. tk

I get the same problem with Zeos's 32-bit disk driver for windows.
