HDD install not detected
Yup, set to default. i even tried setting it to CDROM as the first in line,
but to no avail.

Go into the BIOS setup and make sure the boot sequence is set
properly. I don't know if the CD that came with the disk is bootable.
If not, set the boot sequence to "A:,C:". Be sure to save the change
when exiting.

It came with a CD, but the PC won't get past the initial memory check. This
is a brand new blank drive, and there is not other drive in the PC. The one I
had was bad, and this is a replacement. It won't even boot with the Startup
disk so I can get CDROM support.

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. :-|
