| 148800 | 2003-05-31 07:48:00 | Hi, I'm asking on behalf of my mate here...so i mite not be able to provide sufficient information. I have just installed my new Maxtor 80Gb HDD as a primary slave. I'm currently using my old 15Gb hdd as a primary on my T-bird 1.2g. After formatting and running the program provided by maxtor for partitioning, I'm experincing problems booting up (Com freezes at the win 98 loading screen). I believe teh jumpers have been set correctly on the hdd's and set the maxtor as a primary slave. I was wondering if anyone have a solution to my problem, any suggestions would be much appreciated. thx in advance. |

| 148802 | 2003-05-31 13:10:00 | From your wording, sounds like format, then partition. Hope it was partition first and format each partition second. | Pheonix (280) | ||
| 148803 | 2003-05-31 20:31:00 | now i cant recall the exact specifics but are you sure that 1] the BIOS on the MB supports this size and 2] the os can handle it? To be honest the max i have tried with 98 is a lot less than 80 |

| 148805 | 2003-06-01 03:48:00 | Check the jumpers on the master disk. It might be set for "master, no slave" | Graham L (2) | ||
| 148806 | 2003-06-01 03:52:00 | Immediate addendum: I have an idea that Maxtor use CS by default, rather than master/slave selection. If you have set one drive for slave, it might confuse the logic. Anyway you'll discover this when you check the select pins on the master. :D (A CS cable often has the centre connector plugged into the MB). | Graham L (2) | ||
| 148807 | 2003-06-01 04:27:00 | i dont know if u can have your boot drive on primary slave.. try it on primary master or secondary master | kellanibelle (3909) | ||
| 148808 | 2003-06-01 06:00:00 | My newer box allows booting off primary slave. Perhaps though it depends what the BIOS of the MB allows. | Captive (3159) | ||
| 148809 | 2003-06-05 12:14:00 | Okay, i was helping a friend out and I stumbled upon a bundle of seagate 80gb hdd warranties/manuals that QMB left in my box-of-bit I bought. The jumper pins are like this 7 5 3 1 >>power 8 6 4 2 >>power with the jumper over 7 and 8 it's a Master or single drive with no jumpers drive is slave with 5 and 6 its cable select now heres your problem... 1 and 2 is ALTERNATE CAPACITY. LIMITS DRIVE CAPACITY TO 32Gbytes Hope that solves your problem |
