HDD Mystery
I try another fresh install of win95b and rpro9x; still no go.

As a matter of fact, I don't even think the slackware authors would agree that a difficult install is important. My recommendation to you is: 1. Get rid of slackware, those easy installations are for sissies. 2. Partition your hard drive with a track & sector editor. 3. Borrow a machine and compile a kernel,
