Yikes!  So I try to put zoo.ttp on my hard drive, and the first time I run it,
my ST reboots!  Well, it tries to, anyway.  It seems to have some trouble
recognizing the hard drive, in that it doesn't.  So then I use icdfmt.prg to
rewrite the partition sector, and I can read the hard drive again.  But it
won't boot.  Actually, it does boot, just too many times.  It doesn't stop
booting.  It sets up the hard drive driver, and the clock driver, and then
tries to go to the desktop.  Some garbage briefly appears on the screen, and
the cycle starts over again.  I can get at the stuff on the HD by booting
in a contorted sequence, but it would be nice to take less than 5 minutes to
boot my hard drive.  BTW, it's not icdboot.sys or desktop.inf.  I replaced
both of those.  My guess is that it's something in the boot sector.  I'm
using a 1040ST with a Seagate 250R, Adaptec 4070, and ICD host adaptor.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.  Thanks.
