I'm having a weird problem with a compact flash card.
I have one of those generic IDE adapters, and I got it working fine in my Dell Dimension 4100.
I unplugged the hard drive, plugged in the adapter/card combo, partitioned it with fdisk, formatted it, and copied the contents of the boot floppy to it.
I also copied Prince of Persia over for, you know, scientific testing purposes 😀
I ejected the floppy and rebooted, and everything went fine.
I played a couple of levels of Prince of Persia, then shut the machine down and removed the card.
I then set up my new Asus CUSI-FX motherboard that I bought for my Via C3 build, and it won't boot from the card.
It is recognized as a 32MB hard drive, but when it tries to boot from it, it gives a disk I/O error.
I can't understand why it would work in one machine but not another.
Any ideas?
