Is your hard disk a 120 MB drive? If so, the disk may be going bad. Are you	aware that IBM recalled some of their 120 MB drives? (well, they didn't CALL
it a "recall".) Do not worry. IBM will replace the drive FREE - ON SITE. But
you had better contact your dealer ASAP, because there may be a time limit on
the free replacement. Your dealer can tell by the serial number on your machine
(or drive) if you have a "bad" disk. Hope this helps . . .
