Hard Disk Drive Problems

A newly installed hard disk drive is not working properly or

ifs performance is not what you expect.

Make sure you have installed the drive correctly and check all
cable connections. Also, check the jumper settings on your
drive.

If this is your only hard disk drive, make sure it is connected to

the primary IDE interface on the system board. If you have a

CD-ROM drive, make sure it is not connected to the same

interface as the hard disk drive.

If you are using MS-DOS and Windows 3.1, make sure the PCI
IDE driver is installed and loaded (see “Installing the PCI IDE
Drivers” in Chapter 2). Make sure your IDE device can take

advantage of the PCI IDE feature.

Some hard disk drives do not support the power management

features on your system. You may need to disable these
features in SETUP. See “Using the Green PC Features” in

Chapter 2 for more information.
