All right HD seems corrupt. Anyways I found I can easily use DOS to browse/copy files ect. Win 2000 repair console can't fix drive, Linux Knoppix can't mount drive. Question is is this just a MBR problem? Why can I use DOS but no other OS's can find the drive? Even tried putting it in a USB external case, but Wi nsays "not formatted". I've been pulling files off w/ floppies but some are huge and I really don't want to mess w/ trying to find DOS drivers for the network card. (IBM Netvista box) but as a last resort??
Anyways any suggestions???
Did not try setting it as a slave drive yet. The Linux and USB external box lead me to believe this is useless.
How about repairing the MBR in DOS?
One glitch, the system required a logon password, but no encryption. Could the password have anything to do w/ Win or Linux not seeing the drive alltogether??
Sorry lot of stuff I know...........
BTW: BIOS seems to find drive ok, though there does seem to be some discrepancies in size. should be around a 37gb drive but some seem to report 32. The Deathstar HD does have multiple jumper settings to restrict HD but seems to be jumpered for full use (40GB)
BTW: No new Hardware/software prior to BSOD. Worked fine on Fri, dead Monday....
