A 486 gives invalid drive specification when trying to access the hard drive. The drive and controller were tried in a different computer and worked fine. A drive and controller from a different computer were tried in the 486 and the error message came up. The bios autodetects and sets the drive properly in cmos.
The drive is a Fujitsu mpd3064at . When running ontrack the drive is identified as a Gukiusu mpe3165au
Basically every other byte is incremented by 1 when being read.
Ontrack reports that reads from the mbr are being redirected to another sector.
I have tried fdisk. It tells me the disk has been partitioned, but when I reboot and run fdisk again there are no partitions on the disk.
Any idea of how to get the computer to access the hard drive would be greatly appreciated.
