RE: Get install to Recognize Hard Drive
hi again
is the 25GB beast the only hard drive installed in your machine? I've found
that the most common problem of an OS not seeing a hard drive is incorrect
jumper settings (Master/Slave/Cable Select). However, it look like Win98
sees your hard drive(s)? On the linux install, what's the error your getting
(that indicates it doesn't see your HDD).
tks

Did not know there was any use for that pause key. Now I know. Here is that
last screen I couldn't see:
Ultra66 (tm) BIOS Version 1.12 (Build 0518)
(c) 1998-1999 Promise Technology, Inc. All rights reserved.
D0 IBM-DPTA-372730 LBA 26105MB Ultra DMA 4
D1 Not Detected
D2 Not Detected
D3 Not Detected
IDE BUS Master Enabled
That is the third screen, character-for-character, space-for-space. Now
maybe you can help me some more. Thanks.
