-pops- Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 I think the problem is connected with having Windows on both drives and not having previously arranged for dual booting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 It's strange that the drive isn't seen at all, even as an unknown device.Do you have a spare IDE cable you could test things out with?Also, ensure that power is getting to the drive.

Scarecrow Man Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Make sure the master/slave settings are correct. If they are detected in the bios, but not windows... you've got a problem.EDIT: Oh yea, Format it as well. boot from a 98 bootdisk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
