Hi people,

Here is what happens at boot up:

You see the computer POST, summary of computer stats.

Normally you would see

Starting MS-DOS ... <I always see this when I boot with a floppy>

But I don't see that part. The computer just sits at this point.

I believe the hard drive has some bad sectors.

It is very old. Only a 156 meg hard drive!

I have tried formatting the entire drive. Reinstalling DOS 6.22 on it. It
always does the same thing!

Could this mean there is something wrong with the drive?

If anyone have has suggestions I would love to hear them!
