I'm running an nf7-s 2.0. I have an 75 gxp IBM 30 gig drive that I haven't used in a while, but I needed to use it lately. I think I tested it as working about a month ago, but I'm not sure on that (I have 2 drives, could've been the other).
Anyway, my 2 other drives will get detected and boot right up, but if I hook this one up (in any combination with the other 2 drives), the bios hangs on 'detecting IDE drives...'
This drive seemed to be in fine shape the last time I played with it, so I'm hoping it isn't dead. Is there anything you guys can think of that I can do to make it work? I tried playing around with the jumpers - master, cable select, no jumpers - and trying different wires to no effect.
Just to be sure, jumpers can face either direction, right?
Oh, also - I have been trying to get the drive to work with the p-ata to s-ata converters and failed - neither of my IBMs work with that setup - and I've been yanking out power cords, jumpers, and the ide connector a decent bit. Could I have broken something?
Any suggestions as to what I could do/try would be appreciated...
