IMPORTANT: What type of drives (MFM, RLL, IDE, etc) are these and what brand
and model of HD controller?  I had a similar problem when I moved to a 386SX
from a 286 and I had to disable the BIOS on my Adaptec RLL controller.  If 
that is the problem, I think there is a patch which relocates the Adaptec
drive table buffer to an area of memory which will not conflict with EMM386.
I think it is on the Simtel20 mirror sites under DSKUTL directory.

Good luck,
