WD2000JB 8M 200 GB Hard Drive Istalling-Formatting on W98se HELP!
BIOSTAR Biostar M6TBA V 1.5 w/latest Bios available - i440bx - 640MB PC133 RAM - Celeron 633/66/128k. WD400 40GB HD w/W98se OS as master. Problem is with WD2000JB 200GB HD. FDISK will only see 59GB(64).
I really need to start working and I was not able to install the new Western Digital WD2000JB-00DUA0 hard drive with a Promise ULTRA100 ATA TX2 PCI card (2.0.0210.2).
After running lifeguard tools 10 from a floppy it recognizes the drive which is setup as slave on IDE 1 using an 80 pin conductor cable. On master there is a formatted OS W98se drive WD400EB which was already formatted. It will ask me if I want to format the WD2000JB drive. I select yes (I have tried no as well), then asks me againg to select a drive, I select it. Then I skip copy from drive. It says no OS found on drive, if using W98 insert the boot floppy. I do so and the following error is generated:
Floppy OS detection
No operating system detected
critical error
causeway error 09 - unrecoverable exeption - program terminated
Please HELP I need to format this drive ASAP.
To even complicate things my FUNAI 285X cd-rom drive is not regognized by the promise card if the 80 pin cable is hooked up on IDE 1 and the standard 40 pin IDE cable is on IDE 2 for the cd-rom. I is only recognized if the 80 pin cable is disconnected. So now what do I do? I can´t afford to use the PCI on board IDE since I will loose an IRQ that I don´t have available.
I appreciate you help please!
Thanks.
