(edit: made some progress...)

threw a 2nd hd in my box, trying to get the bastard to show up. finally get it in bios, it's even in device manager.. "this device is working properly"

however, there's no drive letter, and it won't let me put one in..

my boot disc is C. i have a cd and a dvd on D and E.. i took out the cd and the dvd moved to drive D instead of E, but it still won't accept any designation for the 2nd hd, so i guess it's not # of drives...


what gives ??? :p

SORRY - YES CHOOSE 5 first

MAKE SURE YOU ARE WORKING ON THE UNFORMATTED/UNPARTITIONED DRIVE - OTHERWISE YOU MIGHT BE WORKING ON THE FIRST DRIVE YOU ALREADY INSTALLED

Like I said ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You will lose everything if you fuck with the partitions. Choose "5" to switch to your new disk. Then "1". It's been a long time since I did any of this

:O

had trouble finding info on my h/d since the part # was listed as the model # (what the fucking dif is..)

Thank you for contacting Hitachi Global Storage Technologies.

The hard drive that you have is a Deskstar 7K250 40 gig hard dive. Here is
a link to our website and information about that series of drives:

http://www.hgst.com/hdd/desk/7k250.html

The information you wanted is: cylinders - 16,383, sectors - 63, and heads
- 16. Keep in mind that these settings in your bios will only come up to
8.4 gig. Depending on how old your system is, you may need either a bios
upgrade or a translation software to get the full capacity of your hard
drive.


translation s/w? my system's less than 2 years old.. surely it should be up to date for a frigging hard drive??

thanks for the assistance all! freaked me out when 'popping it in' started to involve the (evil+wrong) word 'partition,' now i know!

yeah, partitioning is just a way to define the boundaries for formatting. sorta like placing start and end points on a loop.

so you have to do a main partition as a basis, and then you can divide it up if you want after that
