Firstly if everything works fine in standard mode then your scsi disk
controller may have a conflict with windows through its bios - this is because
windows accesses the hardware directly for diskswapping - therefore you scsi
should also be partioned using DOS FDISK only!

There is also a line that may be added to the SYSTEM.INI file under the
[386Enh] section. This is  emmexclude=C800:FFFF where the hex values are
addresses in memory and experimentation is the only way. If you reinstall
windows ever you must frstly fully delete all of windows from your harddisk.
And start with a very simple config.sys and autoexec.bat examples:

config.sys                              autoexec.bat

files=40                                @echo off
buffers=20                              prompt $p$g
                                        path c:\;c:\dos ....

If nothing works after this then definitely check out your scsi bios and other
hardware.
