I'm running OS/2 1.2 on an Adaptec 2372B with a Microscience 1060 HD.  The 
computer is a Vector 20MHz 286 (uses C&T) with Award 3.03 BIOS.  

What is the error message (if any) and on what screen does it hang?  Also if you
are using the 63 sector translation, back up the hd and try it without this
option.
