82999 2002-09-25 07:18:00 Any suggestions as to why Me is not showing my brand new 20Gb Maxtor slave HD? Jumpers are set to slave, Bios is correct .. sits at mid-cable position on Primary IDE. I have CD-r and CD on sec IDE.

Thanx Gerard

I have never had probs installing drives, so I have no experience in fixing them.

Someone else may be able to help you better, but check the cables first. No amount of BIOS fiddling will fix the prob if it is just a loose cable.

83002 2002-09-25 07:44:00 Whats the set up on the "master" disk? Chris Wilson (431)
83003 2002-09-25 07:55:00 Sorry, what do you mean 'the setup'? The jumpers? They are set to master. or do you mean the bios description? Gerard (1730)
83004 2002-09-25 08:09:00 i meant the jumpers, and seeing they are set to "master" then i have no idea why it won't work! :( Chris Wilson (431)
83005 2002-09-25 08:14:00 When you say WinME can't see the drive you have fdisk'd and formatted partition(s) on the new new drive then?

83006 2002-09-25 09:27:00 Yes it was tested in the shop b4 I put in my PC!! Gerard (1730)
83007 2002-09-25 10:57:00 Gerard, Another point is it 'seen' in the BIOS, Also in the BIOS have you set the secondary master to auto ?

83008 2002-09-25 11:16:00 Yes, I was thinking that too. Does your BIOS have an auto-detect option? If so, try it. It should 'see' the drive and set the options automatically. Rod J (451)
