Just installed a Micropolis Model 2105-A IDE hard disk as a
master to another drive.  Everything is peachy in DOS, but
now when I try to use Windows 3.1 and use the 32 bit access
I get an error saying "This program tried to access your
hard disk in a way that is incompatible with the 32 bit access
feature (WDCTRL)..."

At any rate, everything else works fine.  The drive the Micropolis
replaces was a Maxtor 213Mb (now we upgraded to the Micr. 560Mb)

Any ideas on what foobared the 32 bit Access? The Drive? The Master-
Slave Config? The Master? The Slave? The fact that I restored a
backup of the old hd to the new?

Ps - Windows works fine in no 23 bit access mode.
PSS - Every now and then the Micropolis drive gurgles - is it repositionng or what?

Ugh - Im going to bed.  Hope to hear from you soon.
Tim
