Aposting on behalf of a friend: A AST Advantage 486DX2 with a 270 MB HD
is prone to a periodic problem, the HD will not initialize and he is
instructed to run system set-up. This he does, several times until at
last the settings "stick" and he can continue to work. Battery low
indications have also been seen despite the battery having been replaced
about six months ago. 
The CD drive is also prone to occasional stuttering fits when the drive
door will almost but not quite open...I feel this is likely to be
mechanical, probably the result of too much dust in the always in the
process of renovation house.
Any help would be much appreciated.
