- 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
