Eek! I have a GVP hardcard (45Meg with controller and 2M RAM) and I get the
same error. (I think that's a different controller to yours-I could be wrong) 
I don't mind it being a DOS error, but if it's the hard disk cont.
causing problems....:-(  (I have a 2000, 1.3 and I love multi-tasking) 
Rebooting just for the sake of analyticalc....well......I'm not that keen.

`More input!!' please...
