        HELP !!!!!!!!!!!     I AM GOING CRAZY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 Over the weekend I installed a hard drive on my XT clone.
 I have noticed that some programs that work fine when run 
 from floppies, fail to work properly when run from the hard drive.
 
 I put PC Tools on my drive by "running" pcsetup program.
 PC Tools locks up when I try to use the (E)dit function 
 on files I have selected.  Only warm/cold boot will get me out.
 
 I copied all the files from my Qmodem disk to a directory called
 Qmodem.  When I try to run it from the hard drive, I get the message 
 that comm 1 is not available.  It works fine on floppy, modem is set
 up for comm 1.
 
 I setup Quick C 2.0 on my hard drive using the setup file.
 I accepted all the default values and it built all the libraries.
 I modified Autoexec.bat and config.sys as directed.
 When I type QC the hard drive light flashes off and on until I reboot.
 The program never starts.  It works from the floppy.
 I am at a loss as what to do next.  
 Would some kind soul help me out?
  
 PKZIP works fine running from the hard drive.
 I DON'T WANT TO HIRE A CONSULTANT, BUT MAYBE I COULD INVEST A FEW BEERS.
 Thanks
