I just made a move from Florida to the Midwest, USA (Yup I know it is 
the wrong direction to go this time of year - my new neighbors wonder 
what kind of crazy guy I am) and my hard disk seems to have arrived in 
less than satisfactory condition.  It boots up OK, but sometimes some 
files are not recognized (including a whole partition that is sometimes 
missing) althouh at other times they are there.  I also get a number of 
read failures, but the strangest thing is that whenever I execute a 
program, when I quit from the program the computer just hangs.  This 
only occurs when the hard disk is hooked up.  From floppy everything 
looks fine (as far as I can tel so far).  Any clues?  I have a Berkeley 
Microsystems BMS200 board hooked up to an Adaptec 4070 and a Seagate 4144R 
drive.
