After that I can't reboot the machine. It seems that the hard disk was crashed. When I used the diagnostic floppy to reboot, I got the following message: #HDERR ST:1 EF:4 CL:FF00 ... MCRREG:8F00 panic: iinit I used the hardware reset, no luck. I used the floppy boot disk, no luck either. The hard disk couldn't be found by the process. When there's no floppy present, what I saw was green dots appearing on the screen. One dot for each second, no ending. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Xinhua Wu xwu@cse.usc.edu 213-743-3753
