HDD install not detected
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. :-|
