	I have a 386DX@40Mhz, w/ a Maxtor 7120A 130Mb Hd, and a
Cirrus GD54 video card.  I havent noticed this before, but when I enter
Windows, it seems to be taking longer for it to start up, and then when 
it finally does, Windows seems to be accessin the HD alot, and when it isnt
accessing the HD, the HD lights constantly flicker.  They dont do this
running under DOS.  I have even run the most recent version of scan on
all the files on the hard drive, and no viruses are reported.
	Has anyone had this problem, or know what is causing it and
how to stop it?  Please post, or reply by e-mail.

	Thanx in advance
