HI,

I have a few short questions:

What brand name is this hard drive?

How do you have the jumpers set?

What IDE slot are you trying to set it up on?

Where on the ribbon cable are you putting it?

One other thing, just tell us what your IDE drive setup is....like, what drives are on which cable (list all drives on IDE #1 and IDE #2) and where located...that should help a bunch. Also be sure you follow linderman's advice and use an 80 connector cable for hard drives.
