Hi,
    I'm getting an 'Invalid disk' message during  the boot process of a
P166 w/ a 2GB hard drive.  When I boot to a floppy, I can type C: and the
prompt appears,  but when I try to access the drive with a dir command, it
returns a CDR001 message which I've never seen before.  The drive is
recognized at the BIOS level.  Does anyone know what that message means?
The operating system was the latest W95 release.   Thank you.
