[comp.os.minix] Minix HD help?

wku@csadfa.oz (Wen Ung) (06/01/87)

	I have a 6936kbytes partition for Minix on my 20 Meg Hard disk.
When ever it used up 2324k(approx.), it start giving error messages
like "Winchester wouldn't reset, drive busy". Can anybody tell me what
the problem is and what is the fix for it? Any help will be greatly
appreciated.

This is a genuine IBM PC/AT with the AT distribution disks (in case it
makes a difference).
