Hi Everyone,
   I have a PC7300 that dosen't want to boot from the hard drive. It had been
running fine for about 1.5 years and all of a sudden this happened. I have
booted it fine from the floppy drive and I can run diagnostics from the floppy.
All of the diagnostics run fine except the hard drive where is says 

ERROR Can't Recal: 4

I dont have a manual that explains the diagnostics. Does anyone know what this
means or what is going on?  I reseated all of the hard drive connectors and the
drive does not smell like a head crash. 

If I have to replace the hard disk, can I use any other brand of hard drive or
does is have to be the exact same drive?
                                       Thanks for your help,
				       Mike
