Hi,
Found this site while running a search on Google for some info on the Seagate
ST225 HDD I've got. I've been trying to resurrect this machine for a couple of days and while I've gotton the 5.25 floppy to boot I can't get the HDD recognized even though it's listed correctly as a Type 2 drive on my setup screen. One problem though, my CMOS battery is dead so I've been getting a message each time I boot to hit F1 to continue or F2 for setup.(clock stopped) But I wouldn't think that this would matter in tearms of drive recognition once booted. When I try the FDisk command it says no fixed disks......
HDD is lit and spinning, both controller and data cables seem to be intact so I'm guesssing its a jumper issue??
On my WD controller card there are actually two sets of jumpers. The ones in front of the Drive 0 pins for the data cablemarked W1 with 1 on the left bottom and 7 on the right bottom are blocked at 1-2 (to sel drive 0 ?) (or more correctlly i guess SEL Drive 1 which would be drive 0 as marked on the card??)
I'm completely lost here, could anyone give me an idea of what to try?
Thanks,
Franci
