I am running a Pentium II 266Mhz with an IBM Deskstar 20GB HD as the Prim. Master and a Quantum 6GB HD as the slave. My BIOS stopped seeing the 20GB HD after it was accedentally disconnected. I cannot auto-detect the drive, I'm assuming because it is too large. I've attempted to manually input the information into BIOS, but it will not recognize the whole drive. I know it can work, but I can't figure it out how to make it work.
On the HD, it tells me the C/H/S settings are 16383/16/63. When I input these numbers and set it to LBA, The size becomes 8457.
On the Deskstar website they tell me to input settings of 1024/16/63. When I did this, the size became 528.
I was previously running the computer with all of the 20GB availible. I have data on this disk that I do not want to lose, if possible. Any help will be gretly appreciated.
