Thanks for the answers, people...



It appears that the solution is to repartition the drive so that the entire 

(installable) partition is within the first 1024 cylinders - I'd tried 500MB

 previously, but the advice given in this echo is that this may well be 

much less than 528MB; in fact, the figure of 300MB was mentioned for 

Quantum drives in particular. 



Lucky me - guess which brand of drive is involved here!



Oh well - as I'm discussing options for a new motherboard, etc. at the 

moment with my local pusher (dealer?) and hate having to learn all those 

new alphabet letters, I'll wait a few weeks until it's no longer a problem.



Again, thanks for the excellent advice from the people who responded. You 

live and learn, or at least I have (wanders off shaking his head and 

muttering...)
