i have just been given a 20GB IDE HDD, my curretn master drive is conencted to the master end of the primary IDE cable and my new one the same cable but the slave. i have tried the jumpers in every position but i cnat get this HDD to work. at one point i booted to windows, windwos added it and under my computer it was there but with no size shown and when i tried to open it it said the drive need formatting when i click ok the max capacity was 1.98GB but the drive is 100% a 20GB??? i have tried bootin with windows disk and formatting but windows setup cant find it. depending on where my jumpers are my BIOS will say its connected...any suggestions. BTW i am a bit stumped for jumpers as this one has so many options
it has the slave option under :
16 heads
15 heads
2GB clip
Auto Spin disable
which do i need?
