I too was having some problems running Sim City from my normal setup (2000
with 2-partition HD & 2 floppies). I called Maxis (the publisher), and
according to them Sim City  won't work if you have more than two drives,
including hard disk partitions. They said they recently discovered it and
will fix it.

How they managed to create such a problem is a mystery to me. It seems like
you'd have to go out of your way to create a program that screwed up due to
having more than two drives.

I'm also having trouble using their "Print City" menu item to print the map
on my new HP Deskjet Plus. After each graphics pass, the printer spits out
the current sheet of paper. That line does look nice though. I could always
cut and paste the sheets. :-)

Despite this, and an occasional lockup, the game is fun.
