I would start by checking to make sure that you don't have a DMA 
conflict, although it's not as likely to cause the HD going out, but with 
the problem with the floppy, this is a hi probability. The likely culprit 
is either a sound card or a CD-Rom card having a DMA channel that is set 
to one which by default is what the A drive will use.
