I think it’s definitely bios to OS config problem. I was able to install Win98
on an old 1GB drive without any problems except that it’s not compatible with NFTS,
so my other drives are still inaccessible. After in Win98 I tried to upgrade to
Win2000 but it still hangs on the reboot. Then again maybe it is a hardware failure
that just affects newer OS's. Can't figure this out.
