I added a hard disk to my Deskpro at work and now have a new
problem: after a floppy disk format, the computer hangs up
completely.  I assume it is the incompatibility of the disk
controller (hard disk) with the Compaq BIOS but everything else
works great and has for a year- as long as you don't format 
floppies...

Any clues/common experiences?
