I do not know what brand of drive it originally came with the computer.
Also, what is on primary IDE, including all drives, how they are jumpered, and where are they placed on the cable.
I have only the one new drive in this computer, no other slaves or anything.
Do the same for the Secondary IDE port. That should help us to know what kind of problem you have.
The secondary ide port is just the cd-rw.

Hi,
New drives normally (well, the majority anyhow) come as cable select on the jumpers. What I would suggest is that you set that jumper to MASTER and put it on the END of the ribbon cable.
I am assuming that you (from what you said) do not have anything else on that cable and that is fine.
Are you sure you have the newer 80 connector cable instead of an older 40 connector cable? If not, find one of the newer ones, because you will get errors on there a lot if the old drive (and many older drives work with the 40 connector cable) was on a 40 connector cable.
