   Hello,
          Hope someone can help me out. I have some older hard
drives(in the 202-328MB range)have tried them on a number of
different machines and get "Invalid System Disk, Replace the disk and
press any key."when starting up. If I put a bootable floppy in, it
will boot up and I can look at C: and all seems fine. I have even
loaded Win3.1 onto one of them and it will run fine as long as I boot
up with a floppy, go to C: and tell it to run Win. It is marked as
the active partition and have tried booting without the A:(floppy)
only C: set in the bios. They seem to be formatted with fat16 and
have tried all the jumper settings on the HD.  Any thoughts on what I
may be doing wrong would be appreciated.


                                                     Thanks,
