One thing I did notice is that SETUP has the hard drive listed as an ST330630A (which I can't figure out make and model without opening the case??) and Windows 98 shows the drive as a "Generic IDE Type 47". I see that as kind of strange! Any idea of why that might be and how to fix it?? The problem might be that Windows is not handling the drive correctly.....
