Hi,

I've been using DJGPP v2.0 for a while, but recently it's started to kill my
harddisk. Every so often while I'm compiling even the smallest of programs
DJGPP hangs and when I reboot I get the not a dos disk message. Then I have
to use fdisk and format to get access to C: again!
Even if I run it in windows dos-shell, it still manages to kill my harddisk.

Has anyone else had this problem? What can I do?

Thanks in advance...
Rd,

Ps: Could you send any replys to my email address (breed AT mindless DOT com)as
well to make sure I get them...
