well those miniscribe hard drives can be fickle. i would assume you are trying to boot from it, and not the floppy drive.
try booting from a floppy disk. then wipe the HD, ( erase ) and reinstall your os onto it. also it wouldn't hurt to pull your mainblard out, clean the layer of filth off it, pop out your ram, clean the ram sockets. if you have (4) one meg simms laying around pop those in, do not forget about the Jumper or resistor depending on the rev of your mb. 256k / 1mb simms or just pop the same ram back in, Either way pop your ram out , clean and pop it back in. Bourns filters are a big problem with these ( SE / SE30 ) One of the best way you can tell if your Bourns filter has gone is when you boot up your os from the HD/zip, When you get to the desktop it will keep asking you if you want to initialize the disk in the drive. but there is no floppy disk in the drive!!! haha. a temporary solution is to disconnect your floppy drive from the mainboard, until you can get that filter changed out.
