I am currently running a Pentium 120 system with 32 mb ram and a quantum
540mb ide hard disk (with lba mode - only 32bit capable using qd6580
drivers) and wfwg 3.11 o/s.  video is ATI Mach64.

I have twice attempted to upgrade to Win95 and received the following
error (after set up was finished and restarted my computer):

disk i/o error, replace disk and press return

I was able to restore my original configuration from my boot disk, but
the first time through my system was garbled (win95 not completely
uninstalled)

anyone else ever encountered this error?  Any suggestions or comments
would be most appreciated.
