| 159464 | 2003-07-13 22:33:00 | I've got a Quantum bigfoot 5.25" HD that I need to find the size of. When I connect it up and power on, I get: 1790 - Disk 0 Error I've got the IDE cable in the right way and I've tried all of the jumper settings. I can't get into BIOS because it's a Compaq Deskpro (yes, there really is no default way to get into BIOS) Anyone have any ideas? |
