Some weeks ago one of my IBM EIDE hard disc starts to make some odd noises. So I decided
to format it again. When I tried that operation from Win2000 the hard disc refuses to work any longer.
So I decided to do that from DOS with the low level format tool or even try to inspect
the hard disc with the Drive Fitness tool of IBM.
Unfortuantely the hard disc is not accessible any more at boot time. It is not recognized by the
hardware during the boot process. I tried it in another computer - without success.
So is there something like a workaround like changing the jumper to modes like
the one offered on the stickers on the hard disc:
"Forcing dev 1 present"
"15 heads"
"2GB clip"
"Auto spin disable"
What would you recommend ?
The model number is a DTLA-305030 and worked absolute successfully for two years.
