    Hello,

    When i first switch on my computer, my HD (Seagate SR-238) works well.
    But after some minutes, there are many R/W errors. I am using DOS 3.21;
    i have low level formated my HD as a SR-238R HD, with Seagate's
    Diskmanager.

    I could not find a virus, either with f-prot 115 or scan 77. If i list
    the TSR, there is a 3120 bytes long file labelled ?.

    Could that be the cause of the harddisk problems ?

    Thanks for your advices.
