Problems booting

[maginot]

I'll try to make my question on this thread because I think its the closest to my problem.. I have a old pc, an 486 running windows 3.11. The question its simple: When It starts the windows its not loading anymore... I think it can be a HardDrive problem, but I want to be sure, so what version of boot disk I may use to try start the computer??

If anyone can help me I'll be very greatfull ... thanks!

[]''sA DOS boot disk is what you need. You can find one at www.bootdisk.com (http://www.bootdisk.com)

If you know what make of drive it is, the manufacturer usually provides their own diagnostic tool.

Do you have the DOS and Windows floppies to reinstall if need be?

Thanks.. I had already tryed the bootdisk, but I was not success, maybe was the version of the DOS that I used, but thats ok, I solved the problem yesterday. All I need was enter on the BIOS and make a autodetect primary and slave, something must had it lost his configuration, maybe a bad battery or I thunder... I dont know, but know its starting again. x]
