Ok, I got the HD to a master with the jumpers, as there are several jumper
settings of the master without slave (15 head, 16 head, 2gig) the 2 gig is
the only one that works. Anyways, Ive done the boot.ini thing before, but I
shall try again now that I have that done.


What is the make and model of this hard drive? Most hard drives just
have a 3 or 4 position jumper block (master alone, master with slave,
slave, cable select).
