HDD trouble

[anoniem]

I recently bought a 80GB MAxtor IDE Harrdive (D540x, model number: 4K080H4) After I set the jumpers and physically installed the thing as slave, my computer hangs during startup..I can see it detects fine in the bootup screen, but shortyl thereafter it just stalls... I flashed the BIOS to the latest version and tried about every damn thing i could think of..To no avail.. Im using a Jetway660s mainboard with PIII-667, on 256MB of RAM, with a TNT2-32MB vidcard.. BIOS is dated: 02/22/00 BIOS version: 02/22/2000-i440BX-ITE867-2A69KH2BC-00 BIOS Type: Award Modular BIOS v4.51PGM Chipset: Intel 440BX/ZX rev 3 Anyone up in here that can be of some assistance? Thanks in advance,

I don't know the answer for this problem because you said you allready switched the jumpers. Bios fine too? Maybe a format will help.

Did you let your bios detect the disc and saved it to cmos settings??????

If everything is set oke (jumpers etc..) and a Bios Falsh didnot help than your mobo cant handele a 80GIG harddrive. You should download the disk manager that maxtor proovides than you can use it. Praat je echt geen nederlands ? :wink: or are you still on the list for a so called Inburgeringscursus? :wink: :P :lol: :D
