Has the 40 GIG worked before? Is this the first time? Do you have the
jumpers selected properly on the drive? Most likely the jumper choice
should be MASTER or COMPUTER SELECT - note the drive's documentation and
where you attached it on the motherboard.

Also . . . if you had a 13 GIG, your machine might be a tad old . . .
perhaps a BIOS update is needed to recognize the drive. Check your vendor's
web site.

I did some searching at the MS Knowledge base and found three articles that
I'm not sure apply:

Perhaps someone else can help . . .
