I'm trying to put together a few useable PC's from a bunch of donated parts. I tried to slave a 200mb Seagate with a 12GB Quantum Bigfoot, to use as a swapfile.
Well, FDISK didn't like creating a partition on the Seagate, seeing as how when it tried to Verify Integrity, it would go up to about 20-30% and then restart. Figuring that the thing didn't like Large Drive support, I tried to use /fprmt to force the issue, but to no avail. My suspicion is that the drive is dead, but it will seem to work independently. And I double checked the jumper settings.
So after all that ramble, I'm wondering if there is anything I'm forgetting to get it to work.
