Hi we have just got Windows 3 at the school and in the space of two weeks three machines that had windows in stalled had their hard drives crash. Has anyone experienced any thing like this? I am not a regular reader of this group so if you could e-mail me any comments I would appreciate it.

This happened on my brand-new Zenith Z-386/SX machine a week after I got it. I talked with a Zenith technical support person who said it was a known problem in Windows 3. If anyone's received a fix, I'd sure like to know about it. -- --- Richard +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ | Richard M.

Earlier on the net someone said that there was problems with the program
smartdrive and certain drive types. The recommended action was to remove
this from your config.sys. Upon reading this I removed it immediately. My
hard disk is already cache through hardware and so I didn't see any slow
down. My biggest problem is my mouse driver.
I would suggest removing smartdrive and then see what happens.
Does any one know what windows uses smartdrive for anyway?
