It's coming from the int13 , you are running win2k right ?
It can be the norm in win98 sometimes but not to offen in win2k...
You can try this to fix it ..
Open the box and move the rom to a diff.cable,slave it to the HD or on it's own
cable should fix it...
if you slave it to your HD use cable select jummper and give it a try..
besure to run your BIOS setup after you make the move...to see the new hardware setup.
