[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] HD & runtime problems.

<G21LG@CUNYVM.BITNET> (06/30/91)

I have two C languages, Borland's C++  and PowerC by Mix Software Inc.
I can't use them because I  can't install them on my hard drive. PowerC Editor
works fine from my floppy drive, but when I copied it on my HD I received the
following message: runtime error 87 incorrect level. What does it mean ?
  On the other hand C++ detects an error in the unzip.exe file, and therefore
can't be installed. The problem seems to be related with my hard drive and
controller with which I have a lot of problems lately(lost clusters, cross link
s files). I tried to use DiskMenager's Diagnotic program to detect any problems
with my HD/controller subsystem but I got "devide overflow" message. That messa
ge surprised me because the diskette with this Diagnostic program works on my
brother's computer( an XT ).
The software packages are not copies, they are originals.
One more problem occures while installing Prodigy software. I got the message
that installation was completed successfuly. But after typing prodigy nothing
happens. Norton Commander shows familiar error in the prodigy.exe file-runtime
error. Do you have any suggestion what is wrong?
