Hello!
I am attempting to swap my IBM HD (75GXP 45) to a different system but am having a difficult time getting the OS to recognize it. It is just an archive data drive so I am attempting to place it in the secondary master position. It was previously used as a primary slave. I have reset my jumpers, cabled it properly and set the bios to rcognize (auto detect). It shows upon post but not in the OS (Win98se). When the install was done on the first system it was no problem because I used IBM's "DriveGuide" but to reinstall the HD into another system using this utility I can see no way aroung doing a format which it prompts. This is not an option considering I have resident data I do not want to loose.
I know there is probably an easy solution that I am overlooking. Any and all assistence will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Debs
