This sounds kinda like your motherboard doesn't recognise the drive OR your bios recognises it but needs to be flashed. After all a 15G to a 40G.....the computer must be older to begin with. Also I would suggest that you make your burner the secondary master, then you won't have the same cable...

There is alot to be said for "copying" VS "installing".

Well, I would still grab a copy of Spinrite and try refreshing those older platters to have a better attempt at reliablilty.

1. Yes there is some compatability problems when booting to NTFS and writing to a FAT32 drive. Microsoft had this posted in some article, just can't find the number right now. 2. If you are using any dynamic drive overlay software, I have also seen this go awry with mixing NTFS and FAT32...

Not all PC-133 is backward compatible with PC-100. Check your mobo manufacturer and see what is recommended.

MY K6-2 450 MUST have the PC-100 and not more that 128Mb in each slot. I am also using an Asus mobo from that same period, therefore I am sharing from my experience of having to exchange the pc-133 for pc-100.

Also, try puttin gone of the sticks in each ram slot and bootup. Then repeat with the second stick. If all this works then you may have mixed the ECC and NON-ECC.....OR you actually may have a PC-133 and a PC-100 mixed as well. You should state what your mobo make is also so that we have more...

Hmmmmmmmm With MicroShit stating that Win XP was designed based on the P-4 instruction set, why would you even want to go beyond the Win 9x series? Just a thought!!

I use Spinrite to check all the older drives that I encounter. Spinrite has the capability to re-low level format a drive as well. And after all that if there is ANY errors........hello E-Bay!

The SP97 mobo should manually detect this drive perfectly, if cabled and jumpered correctly. If it does not then there seems to be a bios problem either on the mobo or on the drive. Personal suggestion.....try to stay away from DDO's.

Just a thought, have you tried Drive Copy? I have used it successfully to copy non-fat and non-linux drives, BUT I don't know if it will make an image for you.

Do you have an FTP proggy, they will let you have the files that way. Intel...ftp.intel.com....port 21....user/pw....annon M$.....ftp.microsoft.com....port21....user/pw annon This should let you get your drivers as I just tried connecting to both and was able to access drivers on both sites.

From what you have said.....It would be my guess from my experience that you cooked the IDE electronics on the HDD. The only other thing I would suggest is to see if you can get fdisk to see the drive with the settings on the drive and set the bios to auto.....not lba.
