Hi there, new to the site. I'm looking for some help to get an old Compaq that we had sitting around in the back at work running on a larger HDD.
The system originally came with a 2GB disk, but I'm trying to get it running with both a 40GB and 8GB (model number wd80eb-28cgh2, out of an original Xbox) drive (not at the same time, tried with both). The setup floppy seems to read and detect the disk, but when I try to run the setup for Win98SE it thinks i have no drives installed. Trying to format either drive in fdisk throw an "Error reading fixed disk" message but I know that both drives work just fine.
I have also upgraded the bios to the April 98 and that doesn't seem to fix the issue. I'm new to working on a system this old so its quite possible I overlooked something. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
