   When I start my 57 after CPs the 240mb scsi hdd tries to start and then the   
   ligh of fdd went on    
   and the drive tries to read refdisk but fails. This chain begins over and over   
   and gives I9990021 error message.   
   I tried to clean fdd with 3.5" cleaning disk with lens cleaning  liquid  but   
   it didn´t help.
