John, My motherboard is the Intel Plato P54C-PCI. It uses an AMI bios with a Neptune chipset, bios revision code 1.00.001.af1. (My current system is a P5\90 with a Viper PCI graphics card, 64MB ram, 256kb cache, WDC 420MB, WDC 340MB, Micropolis 1010MB hard drives, NEC 3x CD-ROM. There are some really flaky things going on with my current system; my previous system was a 486DX266, 256kb cache, 48MB ram, Tseng et4000 graphics card, c:drive=Seagate 210MB, d:drive=Western Digital 340MB, e:drive=Micropolis 1010MB, F:drive=NEC 3x CD-Rom–this system worked flawlessly; If not for a desire to go above 64MB RAM, I would not have upgraded the motherboard. My first problem occurred first after the Pentium motherboard was installed–it refused to boot off the the Seagate 210MB drive (this drive had been compressed with Dos6.2 doublespace). Not wanting to risk any more compression failures, and because the system refused to recognize this drive, I replaced the c:drive with a 420MB Western Digital drive, and the system finally booted. In my efforts to save some of the data on the seagate drive I moved files to the 1010MB drive; I succeeded for a few files, not for most. Some of the files on the 1010 drive became corrupted, requiring re-formatting and reinstallation of 3DS3. It was at that point that I discovered that 3DS3 wouldn't load without going to de-turbo. Now I have another weird problem–some of my project files on d:drive are giving me an "invalid file format" error message. I am able to load other project files from d:drive, but I cannot save them to the E:drive (1010MB)–they appear to be saved, but when I try to reload them, they won't load. PCTools reports these save files to be "0" in file size. These projects will save to d:drive. Any new project files created will save successfully to the E:drive. I just don't get it. I have been working so hard at this that I don't know if I am missing something simple or if my system is out to lunch. Thanks
