Dept, U of Maryland, College Park, MD Lines: 12 IBM PC XT with 512K Memory, 10 meg disk and a tape backup unit does not boot when Ctrl-Alt-Del is pressed. This only happens when it is on for an hour. After Ctrl-Alt-Del is pressed the hard-drive light stays on and nothing happens. If I keep a dos diskette in drive A, the same thing happens. It was taken to a local shop and there was nothing wrong they could find. Any idea ? deba@mimsy.umd.edu ...ARPA deba@umcp-cs.csnet deba@umdc.bitnet
