PiranhaGenius Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 Hi, i recently got this Harddrive (Quantum Bigfoot 4.3 GB) and since then i am trying it to install into my Computer, but because of the strange things that hapens with that disk when its attached is that, that it tries to power up and then works for about 5 seconds and then powers down. The thing is also, that the BIOS doesnt find it under the IDE harddrives either. I know also that the drive has a bad sector or two but i am not sure if that would be so relevant in that case. Currently i got Windows XP installed and actually the drive must have been found emediatly. Please i need help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiranhaGenius Posted July 2, 2002 Author Share Posted July 2, 2002 I attached the jumpers all OK, its Master now and its the only disk on the IDE port, so it must function like that i mean i am not making this at first time but it drives me insane because it simply wont work of some mistiryous way...
