Just to ask the obvious, but is the turbo button/switch set to on?

I was thinking the same thing after watching that video.
Seems strange that it should load MSCDEX that slowly simply due to slightly wrong jumper settings.
WinXP : PIII 1.4GHz, 512MB RAM, 73GB SCSI HDD, Matrox Parhelia, SB Audigy 2.
Win98se : K6-3+ 500MHz, 256MB RAM, 80GB HDD, Matrox Millennium G400 MAX, Voodoo 2, SW1000XG.
DOS6.22 : Intel DX4, 64MB RAM, 1.6GB HDD, Diamond Stealth64 DRAM, GUS 1MB, SB16.
Well, indeed the turbo wasn't ON. BUT, Here is a video with the turbo enabled :
Another issue I jut found since I can now consistently boot on drive A:. I can't boot from the harddrive 🙁 I can access it, fdisk it, format it, etc, but when I remove the floppy, nothing happens after post. no message, nothing. The computer is not hanged, it just doesn't do anything.
I am using a 250gb HDD. the bios is configured at a 2gb LBA drive. DOS sees it as a 8gb drive. maybe there is my problem, not sure.
Have you got a smaller drive to test with, or perhaps a CF-IDE adapter + CF card?
Have you limited the drive capacity via a jumper on the HDD?
Larger, more modern drives can be difficult to get to work on older controllers.
Hope you find a way to get the system up and running properly soon 😀

1. : No
2. : No, the drive does not have that option.
What is the most common drive combo you guys use on these retro stuff ?
I'm using the same HDD on the Biostar build, without any issue...
