I have previously installed an IBM notebook drive in my desktop to recover some data, and it worked fine. I installed a new Toshiba HDD2171 40GB notebook drive in my desktop, the bios recognizes the drive but then I cannot FDISK or install Redhat 9 as both say there is no device available.

I installed it in an ancient P166 notebook and Fdisk sees the drive fine. I guess it is a problem with the ECS K7S5A Pro that I was trying it in, or something having to do need for jumpering?
