I am having a problem writing data to my hard drive (especially drives E&F).
I get all kinds of cross linked errors (found using Norton's Disk Doctor).
How can I determine what is causing it?

Oh yeah,  I have low-level formatted the drive twice and it seemed ok, and
NDD scanned the drives and found no bad sectors.

My system:
	DTK keen3304
	Orchid ProDesigner II (1mb) video card
	Micropolis 180Mb ESDI drive
	Ultrastor floppy/hard controller
	TEAC 5.25 and 3.5 drives
	NEC 4D monitor

Drivers,etc:
	DOS 4.01
	SHARE
	FASTOPEN
	QEMM386.SYS          - High memory manager
	DTKCACHE.SYS         - Disk cache
	SPEEDUP.SYS          - for PD II (NOT installed)
	XANSI.SYS            -   "      "       "


Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Especially since I just installed
WP5.0 and Windows 3.0 and the system said "cannot write to E:" towards the
end of the windows install (aaaaarrrrgghhh!!!).  I look in norton's and
around 15 groups of 10 files (from WP and win) were crosslinked together.
What a mess.

Thanks for your help,
Rob
