I am trying to install a new replacement HDD in my boy's PC (PIII 333MHz,
Win98--yeah, it's old). I have a Seagate 80GB replacement HDD. After a couple
of tries and some cable swaps, I got the machine to boot back up from the
motherboard, but it will not detect the new HDD. It won't even boot from my
Windows staretup disk.
I have all the BIOS settings as per the instructions with the drive. BUT,
when I try to get the PC to auto-detect the HDD, it stalls at "Auto-detecting
new primary master" and that's it. I can't even back out of it; it completely
freezes and I have to power the PC off.
Any ideas?
Thanks. :-|
