Re: maxtor unreadable?

One question for clarity. Did you place it when it is a master on the END of the ribbon cable? You do have to change the jumper, but you also have to change the cable position if you move it to master. Remember, master on the end of the ribbon cable and slave on the middle of the ribbon cable.

Have you removed the old drive? What IDE port is this drive connected to? Tell us what else is on that ribbon cable and how both are jumpered. Remember, it must be either Master/Slave or (not as good) Cable Select/Cable Select. Some times we set the drive, but forget to check the jumpers on the other drive listed on that cable.
