Rick,

Your drive may have a file system that your current OS can not read or some
other corruption.  I suggest you use fdisk to delete any current partitions
and then create a new DOS partition for the whole drive.  Then format the
new partition and try loading the OS again.

Good luck,

>  i FOUND A 640 mEG hdd Which I was told works. It is recognized on boot
up.  When I try to load an OS it goes to > scandisk and stops there with no
activity.  When I try to format it it says it can't read the drive.
