drive is a 3.2g Maxtor.
found that file from google and run it and it found the drive and recognised it. don't know if there is any significance in that, but every thing is working perfectly now. Life is a mystery, and so are computers!

Here is what i have tried and the results. I tried to reflash the bios with the correct file and with a newer flasher that will flash the boot block area,ami82602 as opposed to amiflash633. No change. Tried the hdd in another computer,managed to read/ write to it no problems. installed win98 on it a...

It should be the 'c' drive since it is the only fixed/hard drive connected.
The drive is recognised and I am given the size,cyln,head etc although the size is greyed out but I still cannot access it


James

If I do this I get the message 'error reading fixed disk.'

James

Thanks for the replies, no the drive is set up as master and I can not access it at all even in dos. I can boot from a floppy and recognise the hard drive but can not access it any way.


James

Yes. I formated it on another board and even copied some files to it but the old board will not read or write to it.

I have an old pcchips m560 m/board and the bios will recognise the hdd but can not read or write to it. Any ideas how to fix this?
