I had this problem some weeks ago. This is a problem with the DTK BIOS release you use. There are several DTK BIOS releases all with the same version number. It was pure luck that someone else told me that. I hate DTK for this. Try to get an up to date DTK BIOS from your computer dealer. Sorry that I don't have this version number handy right now. I run UNIX on my 386 box, so I can't boot as easily as DOS users to look at the boot message. But on the other hand, this number would tell you nothing, as I pointed out.
