Thanks for answering.  I have checked the ribbon cable and it seems
secure on both ends.  I have removed the Sound Blaster card.  I have
also Fdisked and formatted the drive. The error message I'm getting
now is during the installation on WIN 98 after the Fdisk & formatting.


I just got an idea from another post on another subject.  I wonder if
the ribbon cable could be bad.  I have a new cable and will try it.
Wish me luck.

Any more ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks
Adele
