Hey all, having a little trouble getting a HDD to install. This might be dumb, but Im trying to add a Maxtor 250 gig HDD to my computer. I am trying to add it as a slave next to my CDROM drive. I made sure the jumpers and all were correct.
When i boot up, I get an error msg stating the drive is bad (Status BAD) and tells me to backup and replace ASAP. I know the drive isnt bad cause its brand new out of the box. What am I doing wrong here? Can I not add a drive as a slave to the CDROM? Only problem is there isnt another plug on the ribbon cable that has 2 HDDs on it already, so the only option I have is a slave to the CDROM. Any help would be great. Thanks
