I had a hard drive problem so I installed a replacement (old Maxtor 4.2 gig with new Maxtor 6.4 gig). I use Windows 95b OS. I xcopy'ed (/...hickery)C:\ to D:\ then I removed C Drive. When I restarted with the new drive I got the suwin.exe error, I restarted and my computor now boots up to a DOS format C:\ and I then type win and hit enter and windows starts. There seems to be no other problems but it seems like some sort of batch file problem but I have no clue. My problem is that on start up my computor boots to C:\ and does not continue on to my windows desk top. Your help would be appreciated. Thanks. Len A.
I have seen the SUWIN error on a few machines. After rigorously checking all the components and files on the hard drives the same result occurred on all drives. There was corrupt data on the drives that was non-removable and when data was transfered from one drive to another it ended up corrupting that drive as well. I have never completely recovered any drive with this error. The best I was able to do was partition out the corrupt section of the hard drive.

I originally made the mistake of attempting to reformat the drive from "My Computer". When I do that I get the following message: "VIRUS-LIKE ACTIVITY: The application C:\WININSTO.400\suwin.exe is attempting to write to the master boot record of drive C: What would you like to do? [stop] [continue] [exclude].
I do realize that Norton was running and that I should reformat from the DOS mode. However are there any other explanations for this particular occurence?
What does "exclude" actually mean? Would it exclude this particular executable from loading?Thanks,

Hi:
I am trying to upgrade Windows 95a to Windows 98 on a Gateway Pentium 133 processor. However, I keep getting a suwin error with the details saying that "suwin caused general protection fault in module SUWIN.exe at 000c:00000225." Before this error occurs, the setup program was setting up Install Shield which went upto 100%. I looked up the setuplog.txt and found the following:
[OptionalComponents][System]
[NameAndOrg]
[RunningApps]
[Destination]
[]
fsCmosAVCheck: Attempting CMOS Anti Virus Test
FYI, I did uninstall McAffee VirusScan before attempting the upgrade. Also, I bought this computer with 16 MB EDO RAM originally to which I added 64MB EDO RAM. (I have tried installing only with the new RAM with no success). This PC also has a new Maxtor 20 Gig drive which is the master drive (C:) with the old 1.6 Gig drive being the slave. When I installed the Maxtor drive, I x-copied all the files to the new drive to be able to boot from it. I think I have FAT 16 as my Maxtor is partitioned into 10 partitions.
Does somebody have any idea what my problem might be, and how to fix it? Thanks.
