Just an idea: check HDD-parameters in the BIOS
This happened to me also. I found out that The HDD on one machine was set up
in the BIOS to use the LBA-mode, while the other one didn`t. The
auto-detect-harddisk feature of the BIOS reported different modes on the
PC´s. (most older 386s/486s don't even support LBA-mode...)
regards
