HARD DISK READING VERY SLOW
I AM RUNNING WINDOWS 95 B VERSION ON A 486 WITH 12MB RAM.. 540 HARD DISK. IT TOOK ME VERY LONG TIME TO INSTALL WIN95 (2 TO 3 HRS) WHEN WINDOWS FINISHED. I WENT TO THE CONTROL PANEL AND FOUND THAT THE HARD DISK WAS HIGHLIGHTED WITH A (!) SIGN. WHEN I LOOKED INTO IT, MESSAGE WAS THAT THIS DEVICE WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY.. I FOUND NO CONFLICTS. I HAVE KNOW SOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT STILL THE HARD DISK RUNNING VERY SLOW..

I have been running win95 on another 486 with 8mb which is quicker then this machine. I have tried your suggestion but win95 does not find any problem.

If the proposed answer does not solve your problem, please re-open the question so that other experts may provide a solution for you.
Now, right-click the "My Computer" icon on the desktop and then select "properties" tab.
Click on the "performance" tab. Does it say something to the effect of "Drives operating in Compatibility mode"?
If so, let me know, and we'll try to get it fixed.
