Ok, well I can still fix it rite?
Also If the computer crashes, it wont recognise the slave hd, unless I unplug the power from it then plug it back in and reboot? -----Original Message----- Windows will report partitions not disks, so I would say that you have created a 30Gb partition on a 60Gb disk. Do FDISK /Status in a DOS window to see the disk and partition information. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (DTS) "sly" wrote in message ... tnx got it working, now one more thing. Its a 60 gb hd, but when I got to wondows it says that its only a 30 gb drive.. Do you have any idea? -----Original Message----- If this is the cause of the problem, then you need to set the original disk jumpers according to the manufacturer's instructions for a master with slave. Without knowing what these are, it's not possible to be precise. Some disk have a special setting for 'master with slave', others use the same setting for 'master' and 'master with slave'. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (DTS) wrote in message .. . Ok, so I need to have my master also set to master, cause there are no jumper covers in the select for master or slave, its just the pins.. . . |

What do you mean by 'fix'? What partitioning do you want?
Your computer should not crash. Before worrying about why the disk is not being recognised, you should fix the crashing problem. The reboot problem might then disappear. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (DTS) "sly" wrote in message ... Ok, well I can still fix it rite?
