        I just got a 90 Meg hard drive and the high speed SCSI card.
My problem is trying to get it to be the startup drive. I have tried
to use the installer to install the system software, but it keeps
giving me an error like:
        Source:System/CDEV/Modem
        Dest:System/CDEV/Modem
                File Not Found

Of course it's not found. I don't want it, Don't have it on either
disk (System.disk or SystemHD), and I don't have enough room on
the floppy to add it anyway.
        When I have tried to boot from it, I get the startup screen,
but it is a little garbled. The thermometer fills up, then nothing
happens.
        My system: ROM1, Datalink 2400 (2), 1.25 Meg, SCSI card (7)

        I can boot from the floppy, but I got the hard drive so I
could have enough stuff on my startup disk (as well as speed up
the startup). Some Programs will not run from the hard disk.

        If you have any ideas that might help me, please do tell me.
                        Thanks
