SYMPTOMS
========
When you are starting Windows 95, you may receive the following error message:
Non-System disk error.
CAUSE
=====
This error message can occur if you are using an LBA (logical block addressing)
BIOS-only controller with an older hard disk for the boot drive, causing
incorrect drive parameter translations in hard disks that are not LBA
addressable.
RESOLUTION
==========
Use the newer LBA drive as the boot drive instead of the older drive.
