The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS
When you are creating a Startup Disk during Windows 95 Setup, you may receive the following error message:

Disk Initialization Error

Could not properly initialize the floppy disk that you inserted.

Error: Disk sector was not found.

Click OK to continue.

CAUSE
This problem can occur if the floppy disk drive in your computer is connected to a Promise IDE controller. The hardware detection portion of Setup does not properly recognize floppy disk drives on a Promise IDE controller.

RESOLUTION
Do not create a Startup Disk during Setup. Instead, create a Startup Disk after Setup is finished by following these steps:


 * 1) Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.
 * 3) Click the Startup Disk tab.
 * 4) Click the Create Disk button.
