Hi -
I've just installed a Seagate 80Gb drive (ST380021A), and when I
enable it in the CMOS as the primary slave, the boot hangs when
reporting the capacity. I'd heard this was a problem with older BIOSs
(mine's Award 4.51PG), and so I put the limited capacity jumper on the
drive, intending to enable use of the rest of the drive with Seagate's
DiscWizard tool. However, when the jumper is applied, the boot hangs
earlier than without it - it detects the new drive as the primary
slave, and my CDRW drive, but just stops. This happens before it
progresses to the screen where it reports the drive size (where it
hangs when there is no jumper), and in this case it hangs even if I
disable the drive in the CMOS. I can only boot if I remove the jumper.
Does anyone know what's going on? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
xtian
