Re: Detecting IBM 13.5GB IDE HDD---anyone?

[Richard <castille@sorcery.net>]

Actually, yeah. I have the IBM 14.4 GXP drive, and it detects fine. It's on 
as secondary on my secondary IDE controller, but I don't know if that 
affects anything. . . I have much the same system, except on an EPOX board 
with a bios that's only a few months old. . . You might wanna see if 
there's an update for your current board, because you may just need to 
flash so that the board can manipulate the heads, for instance..
