If anybody can help, I would appreciate it!  I'm running into so many
problems on what should be a simplistic matter, I can't believe it!
  1) I used DLII and screwed up a partition of my hard drive
  2) I zeroed the partition, and eventually reformatted the drive in
     order to restore it from backup.
  3) The problem seems to be that when I transfer 172K or larger
     programs, The drive freezes with busy light on and system says
     drive is not on or not plugged in properly etc.
  4) Have tried starting everything from scratch, and now cannot even
     get drive C on the desktop (yes, I made sure it was capital "C").
     For some reason, when I save the dektop with drive "C", the drive
     disappears.  I checked the Desktop.inf file, and drive C is there.
     (Drive D does show up though)  Even when I boot using this
     Desktop.inf file, Drice C: doesn't show up?
I'm using a Supra 20Meg with a Rodine? controller.  Anyways, I really do
need help on this, cause none of it makes sense and I'm beginning to
think maybe the controller is going?  Its the only thing I can think of?
