A Dumb MessyDos question
« on: September 28, 2004, 11:36:59 PM »
I'm tring to install a new Harddrive in a P200 mhz
pc and am having problems.
The drive isn't being assigned a letter.
Bios reconizes the drive correctly but it doesn't
assign it as 'C' drive (no other HD's in system)
I thought Bois was supposed to assign any new drive
a letter.
FDISK says its a 'NonDOS' disk.
I can't format it with Format "C", I get an error
'Invalid drive specifacation'.
I've went through BIOS setup several times.

What am I doing wrong ?????

----------------
If you still can't get anywhere it's probably broke
-----------------

The drive is good... I pulled it from my other PC.
It was a backup drive in the other machine.

I think it must be a BIOS setting I'm missing.......
But what ??

I knew it was a Dumb thing  :-D

I had the Boot sequence set as " A,C,CD Rom" :-)
It should be "C,A,CD ROM".......
I must have looked at it at least 10 times but it
just didn't register ......... :-D
