hi,
i bought a 160GB PATA Deskstar, unknown model number as i dont have it to hand.
no matter what i cannot install windows on it.
i know the install like the back of my hand, yet this is becoming a bit of a pain.
i got over the first 'non compatible partition ' hurdle, got to the point where windows copies the files and then restarts... and nothing. just somethign about missing c:/windows.ini
as i said... ive had nothing but trouble with this particular drive.
im wondering if its the jumper settings... theres a sticker with about 16 different combinations for 15 heads, 16 heads etc, which to be perfectly honest im unsure what the other settings are for ( not the usual slave, master, and CS ), and have never owned a deathstar !
does this sound like a borked disk
