I'm attempting to install the Maxtor 6l060j3 (D740x-6l) into my Packard Bell without success. However, when I have my CF card hooked up to the primary channel with the HDD hooked up to the secondary channel, the HDD does get detected as 2012MB (approx 1.97GB), made a new partition, formatted the HDD, copied all of the files using the xcopy /s C:\ command when in the D drive (Maxtor HDD) with success, and it was all done.
The other thing is, when I hook up the HDD to the primary channel with my CD drive connected to the secondary channel, everything goes south. The HDD doesn't get detected when set to auto or user (entering the parameters), and the system will lock up when I attempt to get the HDD info to auto detect the HDD. Am I doing something wrong here? The CF-IDE is good, but sometimes degrades the performance (slow commands and games) until I restart the computer.
I also tried using SeaTools for DOS to shrink the HDD to 2GB to no success either as it shrunk to 32MB instead of 2GB, but my other computers do detect the HDD as 2GB.
