It was just a jumper on the hard drive, it was set "master", I removed it and it wor well. I thought thas was correct, the hd was alone on the ide port but i remove the jumper and all is ok.

I only have a scsi cd player and of course a scsi card.
There is only a jumper on ID1 on the cd player. I thik its correct.

Wenn I introduce a cd, it doesn't mount on the workbench.
I thik miss a driver or somwhatelse.


@lolof

At least we're up and running now with the Hard Drive, you've got an OS installed thus far.

Sorry to go through this again, but you say your CD ROM is a SCSI unit mounted via a SCSI card?

I'm pretty much a SCSI virgin so other guys / gals here know more about it than I do, but you should see some sort of CD icon on the workbench if you insert any CD regardless of it's type.

Worst case scenario is a trip to PC World and shelling out twenty five rubs for an IDE CD ROM, but IIRC they don't fit in the A4000's case particularly well.
