Thanks for your message Bruce. However, I twice ran
scandisk with surface check on the HD and each time it
came up clean; I also ran that fantastically useful MS RAM
check utility that boots from a floppy and subjects the
RAM to a real battering - it ran overnight without error.
The CD drives are both beyond reproach, a brand new Sony
reader and a fairly new Plexor re-writer, so I find it
difficult to believe that the hardware is faulty in the
normally accepted sense of the word. And as an
experiment, I've just successfully installed Win98 SE with
no problems.

However I take it from your reply that there's no known
peculiarity installing NT type Windows, so I guess I'll
just have to try another HD...
