I am running a 386 with an Adaptec 15x22 controller. I have a scsi CD-ROM 
and a scsi Hitachi hard drive. There are no problem when booting up. All 
devices are identified OK. I am able to run fdisk to set up partitions. 
My problem is  that when I run setup I can not format the partitions. I 
keep getting some type of timeout error when it is part way through 
formating the hard drive and it locks up the cd-rom.

Can anyone help pleas :-(
