hard drive problem !

by edmond_sng . Updated 23 years, 5 months ago

Hi,

I am trying to install windows9x on a PC. When I boot it up, the system says “Primary Disk 1, disk 0 etc could not be found”.

I have checked the connection of the HD to the motherboard and it looks firmly connected.

The BIOS was set to AUTO on the Types of hard drive.

Then I tried to boot up from Floppy disk and when it was started up from A: drive, I just couldn’t change the drive letter to C: (which is what I thought would have happen)

I have checked the jumper setting and it is on master (which is correct as there is only 1 HD).

Could it be a dead HD or something else that I have overlooked.

Please help
Ed
