I want to hook my 200gb WD drive on my Dell 400SC as the slave drive, using the Dell 40GB as the master drive. First I installed the hard drive and set the jumpers at 4 and 6 for slave and used the Dell IDE cable and connected the WD200 as the slave on the cable. Rebooted and went into BIOS to indicate there is a secondary drive and selected AUTO. Computer boots up and says a WD 200GB drive is found. System manager shows it, but I only have the 40GB drive in Windows Explorer. I go back to system manager and check the drivers for the 200GB. I try to update the drivers using the floppy supplied, but it doesn't take them. I then deleted the 200gb drive from system manager and removed the drive.
I then reinstalled using the ATA board that came with the drive, again setting the drive as slave and attaching the cable as such. This time the computer says I have a 200GB scsi drive, which it isn't.
I go to WD's support page and they say to reboot the computer with the Data Lifeguard Tools floppy in the drive and install the drive that way. I reboot and get the install screen. The computer has been sitting there doing the install for 30 minutes.
I have probably installed a dozen hard drives and never had a single problem.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks, John
